Gunther, you forgot the doves on the stage, which took flight when Jesus got rough in the Temple scene! I loved all those animals – thought Pilate was great on the horse. BUT, it sounds as though you should do a stint in the Durban Passion Play, to experience all the ups in taking part. Not the same as just seeing it, which you must have done. Just to know I was in Oberammergau was great, but I felt a bit of let-down after Durban. Father Coughlan did South Africa a great service.
