Director's note: "The Easter of Claudia"
is an extraordinary story of love and de-
votion between Pontius Pilate and his wife,
Claudia. This loving relationship is put
to a stern test because of Pilate's obses-
sive allegiance to Caesar and Claudia's
devotion to Christ. The clash comes to a
climax on resurrection morning.
This first public presentation of "The
Easter of Claudia" is lovingly dedicated
to the Reverend Mr. John R. Green.

Gene:
The enclosed cassette video tape of
"The Easter of Claudia" was taken by an
amateur camera, and is a reproduction of
the original tape.
The lady sitting at the rear of the
chancel has nothing to do with the play.
She is Trish Barker, and outstanding lay
person, who is on the Diocesan Council.
She was unable to join the choir in the
pews for the viewing of the performance.
Be sure to keep the sound volume
high. Pontius Pilae, Claudia, and
Toronotto are played by teen agers.
Adrian Graham is the grandson of Howard
Graham.
The performance was on Palm Sunday,
1995. The cast members remarked that
their performance was better in the
churches they played on the following
Sundays, but I think they did well in
the initial showing.
You may keep this tape.
