Good Friday: A Dramatic Poem

Excerpt from Good Friday: A Dramatic Poem
The Povement, or Paxed Court, outside the Roman Citadel in Jerusalem. At the back is the barrack wall, pierced in the centre with a double bronze door, weathered to a green color. On the right and left sides of the stage are battle-mented parapets overlooking the city. The stage or pavement is approached by stone steps from the front, and by narrow stone staircases in the wings, one on each side well forward. These steps are to suggest that the citadel is high up above the town, and that the main barrack gate is below. The chief Citizen, The Rabble, Joseph, The Madman, Herod, and The Loiterers, etc., enter by these steps. Pilate, Procula, Longinus, the Soldiers and Servants enter by the bronze doors.
