Mark Wing-Davey, director of “Sarah Ruhl’s Passion Play,” and T. Ryder Smith, who plays Queen Elizabeth, Hitler and Ronald Reagan, discuss the play.
The play was inspired by the historic festivals that staged the death and resurrection of Christ. It transports audiences to 16th century England, Nazi Germany and Spearfish, South Dakota in 1984. “Sarah Ruhl’s Passion Play” is playing at the Irondale Center through June 5.
