Executive summary by darmansjah
Oberammergau Passion Play is a passion play performed since
1634 as a tradition by the inhabitants of the village of Oberammergau, Bavaria,
Germany. It was written by Othmar Weis, J A Daisenberger, Otto Huber, Christian
Stuckl, Rochus Dedler, Eugen Papst, Marcus Zwink, Ingrid H Shafer, and the
inhabitants of Oberammergau, with music by Dedler. Since its first production
it has been performed on open-air stages in the village. The text of the play
is a composite of four distinct manuscripts dating from the 15th and 16th
centuries.
The play is a staging of Jesus' passion, covering the short
final period of his life from his visit to Jerusalem and leading to his
execution by crucifixion. It has been criticized as being anti-semitic, but it
is the earliest continuous survivor of the age of Christian drama.
