Who Will See the King?: A Series of Palm Sunday Monologues
2013, 7 pp
Palm Sunday is the start of Holy Week – the critical juncture between cries of “Hosanna” and
shouts of “Crucify.” With this service we feel the increasing tension as Good Friday is around
the corner – and almost seems impossible given the street celebration we witness today.
These paradoxical dynamics are within us still – even this side of Easter. So often our ‘Palm
Sundays’ give way to ‘dark Fridays’ and we must learn again and again to keep our Fridays
open to the possibility of Easter – a resurrection cycle that’s sometimes hard to see.
This series of monologues is best done in succession, by the same actor or different actors, with short musical interludes between each. A simple costume change (on stage by the one actor – suggestions included) is enough to change the scene.
(1-6 actors, 17 minutes) An adapted audio version is also available.
