Bennington, VT – The Monument Arts & Cultural Center invites you to spend an exciting Sunday afternoon on May 25 with Broadway and Hollywood royalty, Maxwell Caulfield and Juliet Mills.
Straight from his sold-out performance at the Ellen Terry Barn Theatre in London, Mr. Caulfield will perform his one-man show, “The Lost Gospel of Pontius Pilate,” at 2 p.m., followed by a British tea and Q&A session with Mr. Caulfield and his wife, Ms. Mills.
The play, written by Michael Punter, makes its U.S. premiere at the MAC Center event.

About the Show
For a man at the heart of one of history’s most momentous events, we know little about Pontius Pilate. The sources differ: Was he a heartless monster or a humanist baffled by the overwhelming historical forces swirling around him? In this play – part memoir and part thriller – Pilate is a man born into violence, surviving Rome’s worst defeat in Germany, then taking that experience to his next appointment: governor of Judea. It seems that he must pass on his pain, until his encounter with a strange carpenter from Galilee shows him another way.
