The Wednesday Play

A carpenter struggles with inner turmoil as he remains committed to his deeply held belief that loving one's enemies is the only way to true righteousness.

Dennis Potter's film presents a unique portrayal of Jesus Christ as a passionate and compassionate carpenter, who advocates for loving one's enemies rather than engaging in constant conflict. However, Jesus grapples with self-doubt regarding his true identity as the Messiah.
