The Gospel of Mark will be brought vividly to life in a free performance held at St Catherine’s Church and Centre in Wakefield on February 24.
A traveller arrives to relate his extraordinary account of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is joy and sorrow, comedy and poignancy, as one after another Mark’s fast-moving narrative brings the characters in the drama to life.
The story is told using a chair, a table, and the few simple items carried by the story-teller, and is underscored throughout by live music which captures the shifting mood of the crowds.
Following a ten-minute interval, we begin the journey towards Jerusalem and the cross. After the death and burial of Jesus, members of the audience are invited to share the bread and wine which has been used to remember the Last Supper, before the startling discovery of the empty tomb.
Free admission and refreshments
