An Opening Word from the Author

SPOILER ALERT!

The writing of this story began in the form of a script for a stage play. In my mind's eye, the setting was the actual room beneath the biblical Upper Room. The Bible says nothing about this room or its purpose, though historians and archaeologists do debate the accuracy of the building's present location, along with its various possible representations.

Setting the debate aside, there had to be a Lower Room. What did it consist of? Were people gathering there when Jesus and his disciples dined above on Maundy Thursday for their last supper together before the crucifixion? If so, who were they? What else might've occurred in that room on other occasions? Is this where Judas conspired with the authorities, receiving the kiss of death as his signal? These and a host of other questions began to flood my imagination.

I began writing, letting the story creatively unfold, not knowing where it was going to take me. At first, I saw the various characters on stage in biblical period costume. Everything would take place in this Lower Room, with Dr. Luke to one side, narrating. You would never see the Upper Room, or what unfolded there, except through the imaginative mind's eye. The focus would be on how those in the Lower Room were observing it, some negatively, others positively, paralleling a typical church congregation, in my thinking.

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.
