“Then, Neil Ross, if that be your true name,
Adam Blair that was dead put up his white face
against the sky, and laughed.”
The Sin-Eater
25 minutes · 2 men, 3 women
This script is adapted from a Scottish folk-tale recorded by William Sharp (the story is in the public domain). The ritual of sin-eating was a combination of Christian and pagan traditions that was supposed to free a dead person’s soul of its sins. In this tale, the ritual is violated and the sin-eater goes mad and commits a gruesome suicide.
