THE STONE COLLECTOR’S WIFE (to the audience)

come to me, living stones rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious ...

THE MAID, THE LANDLADY and THE GUESTS drape themselves with table cloths, cover their heads with napkins, etcetera, so U BÁBELSTEIN_Ů transforms into an amateur theatre version of the grounds of the great temple in jerusalem, 32 AD. THE LANDLADY

the scribes and pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery ...

THE GUESTS take on the role of the SCRIBES and PHARISEES. they hastily dress THE STONE COLLECTOR up as THE ADULTEROUS WOMAN and put him in front of THE STONE COLLECTOR’S WIFE.

THE CHOIR

master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
