SAVVA
[ ACT IV
- death with death and given life to those lain in their graves. Christ—"
LIPA (flinging herself into the crowd)
"Christ is risen!"
"Christ is risen!"
- [The crowd continues to pour in, filling the entire stage. Gaping mouths and round, wide-open eyes are seen everywhere. Shrill shrieks are uttered by the crazed epileptics. A momentary outcry is heard: "Somebody crushed!" Tony's laughter dies away somewhere. The triumphant hymn rises, spreads, passes into a titanic roar that drowns every other sound. The bells continue to ring.
CROWD (shouting at their utmost power)
"Christ is risen from the dead. He has conquered death with death and given life to those lain in their graves. Christ is risen—"
"Christ is risen from the dead. He has conquered death with death and given life to those lain in their graves. Christ is risen—"
