Interlude: The two criminals march to their crucifixion

Get a move on!

The two criminals, Dysmas and Gestas, were at the front of the procession to the place of crucifixion under the guard of the Roman soldier Gaius.
Whenever there was some disturbance that allowed a meeting of Jesus with someone else or a fall, the two criminals made an escape attempt or otherwise caused the Roman lots of grief.
This was great example of what all the actors did during the re-enactment. They made the role they played more human and not just an off screen extra. In an event like this no one can see all the re-enactment. So each actor is a part of the play, even it is away from the central focus of Jesus. This meant that thousands of people all saw a unique version of the event as everyone's view was different.
