Event Description
‘ACCORDING TO MARK’ – AN HONEST PUCK PRODUCTION
Honest Puck Theatre Company is reviving one of their big successes, According To Mark, a dramatic recitation of the story of Jesus.
Creator of the show, Honest Puck’s Artistic Director, James Scott says, “We had such a positive response to the play last year that we felt we had to do it again, both to let new audiences see it, but also because so many people wanted to watch it again.
“I think there is a growing interest in the story of Jesus – who he was, what he did, and what that means to us. People don’t necessarily want the church’s interpretation of the events. But they are keen to engage with the source material.”
“The story is remarkable – a fast-paced narrative in which Jesus encounters all kinds of people from the very poor to the very rich.”
“What unfolds are extraordinary glimpses of otherworldly love and care for the grief-stricken and lowly, through to incredible anger and judgment against the most powerful forces in society who are abusing their positions.”
“Religious or not, this story has so much to say to our society at this precise moment in time.”
James Scott narrates the story and plays all characters in the show.
He says that many people are unfamiliar with the story of Jesus these days.
“Most people have a very vague idea about the Jesus story, but have never heard it in full,”
“This particular show is a chance to sit back and hear it end to end, to discover it’s part adventure, part drama, part comedy, and part tragedy.”
According To Mark will be performed at All Saints’ Hunters Hill from 7pm 6th April.
Tickets are FREE and provided as a gift from the Anglican Parish of Hunters Hill. Tickets are only available online at www.trybooking.com/CZTQM
