Matthew 25:19-23 (NLT)
19 “After a long time their master returned from his trip and called them to give an account of how they had used his money. 20 The servant to whom he had entrusted the five bags of gold said, `Sir, you gave me five bags of gold to invest, and I have doubled the amount.’ 21 The master was full of praise. `Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’
22 “Next came the servant who had received the two bags of gold, with the report, `Sir, you gave me two bags of gold to invest, and I have doubled the amount.’ 23 The master said, `Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’ “

Unspecified in parable.
LIGHTING NOTES:
Simple light from the right illuminates this scene, casting shadows to the left.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
From left to right: the one talent servant, the five talent servant, the 10 talent servant, the master, sitting.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
This is a simple scene showing the master of the parable sitting down at a table, with the two good (5 and 10 talent) servants, with the shaking, frightened 1 talent servant at the back of the line.
I decided to make all the servants clothing look similar, with various shades of red-brown colour for their outer robes. This way they look like they may all work for the same master.
