In the Winedrawers play: Christ's appearance to Mary Magdalene, Christ is seen as a beautiful supreme being. In the play he has just been born again and is revealing himself to Mary Magdalene. She states, " Oh, loveliest one in every land, As you shaped both day and night, Bright-shining sun, and moon in your hand, Grant me the grace to have a sight," (Winedrawers). In all historical documents, Christs is revealed as a shining beacon to the people. He is shining and has a light about him that is not understood.
When Playing this part in the play, The use of certain elements is suggested. Illuminating the character of Christ will help the subject of the play. Using elements to create that glow on the actor are essential to playing this part correctly. As for the costume of Jesus, the use of the stereotypical white robe with blue sash is the best at telling who the actor is, without actually revealing it.
