THE GOSPEL OF JOHN

U.S. Premiere produced by Walking the dog Theater in 2007
Originally devised by TaurusVoice Company, U.K.
Directed by Adrian Locher with Benedicta Bertau

"Click here to see video excerpt of The Gospel of John"

 

Presented in a way that makes the Gospel accessible to anyone, this 100-minute performance is a breathtaking journey into one of the world’s most beloved stories. The fast-paced action evokes all the tenderness, intimacy, passion, anger, and mystery of John the Evangelist’s poetic masterpiece.

Three actors, using only two chairs, a table, and a few cloths bring to life the drama and poetry of the Gospel with stunning simplicity and imagination.


“An exceptional piece of stagecraft.  It combines storytelling, minimalist production design and a sort of Greek chorus to tell the story of the Gospel simply and without preaching...

“No matter what your religious belief-or lack of it-The Gospel of John is an extraordinary evening of theater. You'll find yourself thinking about it, even discussing it with others, for days afterwards. What could be more rewarding?”

-Bruce G. Hallenbeck, The Independent

 “One terrific story,  with plot twists and turns that are classic. Riveting.  Dynamic.  A wonder.  Terrific.  The play has resonance and strength… triumphs and mysteries.”                                                                                          

-J. Peter Bergman, Berkshire Bright Focus
