Shepherds
The school staff perform the Oberufer Shepherds Play every year just before Christmas as their gift to the community. Running for about an hour, it's an undiluted medieval version of the night of Christ's birth, seen largely through the eyes of three very unruly, knockabout shepherds. The cast includes Joseph and Mary of course, the shepherds, a variety of unhelpful innkeepers, an angel, and the truly medieval Starsinger with his (her!) star on scissors who does the introductions and closing speech. The script is true to the spirit of the oral tradition rediscovered in Oberufer where the play has been performed for centuries.
Adaptall SP 35-210 at 210mm f/4.2 (wide open) on the tripod, ISO3200 with no additional NR other than luminance and chroma noise reduction in CS1.
