The gospels are old stories, and they're good stories. But often it seems like they're told from a distance, from gilt-edged Bibles by guys in robes with fancy voices. What would it be like to hear the people who were around Jesus, right there, face-to-face - what would it be like to hear them talk right to us? We can't get all the way there, but Mark, a first-century writer, worked really hard to help people get a clear picture of what was going on in and around Jesus and his crowd, and what it all meant. And it wasn't boring.
This project is a theatre performance of Mark's gospel. It's not word-for-word Bible, but it is true to Mark's intent, his angles, and the voices of the community that formed the story. It's based on fifteen years of intensive study in and living with Mark. We think you'll like it. It's probably not like anything you've every seen before, even if you've seen "Christian theatre."
