The Orsay is Okay: Corpus Christi Lives

November 3: One of my first plays at the now-defunct Rude Guerrilla theater was Corpus Christi,  in which playwright Terence McNally explained the story of Christ with gay themes and set it in modern Texas. The following painting, L'Ecole de Platon (Plato's School) by Jean Delville brought back memories of that play.

It's quite interesting that Plato has exactly twelve apostles...I mean students. At 8.5-ft high by 19.8-ft. wide, the painting grabbed our attention the minute we walked into the room.
