Michael Sheen crucified in Passion play
April 25th, 2011 - 9:40 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattLondon, April 25 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Michael Sheen played a completely different role to that of his son’s real life in Passion play. The actor was in his home country of Wales where the production took place.
Michael was an actor as well as a producer of the show. The production started on Friday and did run until Sunday to mark the Easter weekend. Playing the character of Jesus Christ, Sheen was baptized at a beach and later mocked the “last supper” with sandwiches and beer at a local bar. There was rock music at the bar as he enjoyed his meal.
The highlight of the show was when Michael was picked up and made to carry the cross through the streets in the city of Port Talbot. Michael had a fake thorn crown on his head with fake blood dripping on his body. The show’s production was closed on Sunday as Michael was made to ‘resurrect.’ The first thing that he asked after the production was shower.
Hundreds of people witnessed the show. The artistic director of Wales National Theater said the show has created a ‘sense of pride’ among the people in the town.
