Just wached a copy of the yr 2000 London Stage Co of JCSS. I didn't know it was available. The actors wore modern dress. The apostles were young guys in t-shirts, pierced ears, spiked hair, all races. Cool. They wrote their feelings about JC on the walls as graffiti. JC himself was in a "wife beater" and cargo pants. He had the trad long hair but no beard. Later he switched to a long white robe for the arriving in Jerusalem part, altho he had tight white pants under it. He looked kind of like Robert Plant (from Led Zep).
Judas Iscariot wore a black leather jacket. The Jewish priests were in severe black robes, and the centurions had Darth Vader type helmets.
Mary Mag was black. She had a major role. She and JC were shown cuddling a lot. When he came into Jerusalem, they both were held on the shoulders of the crowd. He standing, her sitting, so he was higher than her (unfortunately, IMO, but at least she was by his side).
I really liked it, altho of course, the last half hour is so depressing and hard to take.
