As the lights go up, the woman is in the CENTRE, sitting on her knees. She is looking down to the ground and stays that way until the accusers leave the stage. Occasionally she flinches at the accusations. The accusers are standing behind her, in a semi-circle facing the audience. Jesus is standing DOWN LEFT facing the woman. He stares at her throughout the accusations and his expression is one of compassion.
There are ‘stones’ scattered all around the stage. After Accuser 12 has said, ‘It says women like her, should be taken out and stoned’, accusers 7, 8, 9,10,11 & 12 walk around the room and pick up two stones, one for themselves and one for one of the 6 accusers stood still. They each are allocated another accuser to hand a stone to which will have been already decided before the play begins.
