An exploration of the relationships between religion, performance, and life. Part I is set in 1575 in an English village whose traditional annual passion-play is about to be outlawed by Queen Elizabeth's anti-Catholic rulings; Part II is set in Oberammergau, 1934, as the town and the play are becoming Nazified; Part III takes place in an American small town from 1969 through the Reagan era and the present.
