Undisturbed Soldier

The Undisturbed Soldier is a chancel play for Lent which allows us to witness Jesus’ arrest, interrogation, beating, and crucifixion through the eyes of two Roman soldiers who took part in most of these events. In the interaction between these soldiers and two Jewish women, the challenge of believing in Jesus is brought to the surface. At the end of the play, three of these persons are convinced that Jesus had indeed risen from the dead while one remains “undisturbed” by it all. The Undisturbed Soldier will give an audience much food for thought concerning one’s own response to the life and death of Jesus.
