Here's an extract from a press release at the Edinburgh Fringe 2023“Mark’s Gospel has got to be the most exciting book in the whole Bible. It’s action-packed, fast-paced, intriguing, entertaining, moving and disturbing by turns ..... ....... If you’re just looking for a great evening’s entertainment, St Mark’s got it all – a completely captivating eyewitness account of love, hate, murder and self-sacrifice, laced with a dash of humour. But it also draws on themes that are all-too-recognisable for audiences today: human hubris, fearful politicians, the betrayal of friends, the fickleness of crowds, an occupying army brutalised by the occupation and - most disconcertingly of all for the rest of us - the bystanders who suspect something terrible is happening but are scared to get involved.”In this dynamic new, word-for-word, solo performance, Stefan Smart recreates for a modern audience the way in which the story was originally narrated – as a full bodied drama, with its many characters and nuances brought startlingly to life.So, sit back, relax, and imagine yourself among Mark’s first audience, as you experience the Good News of Jesus ‘as it was in the beginning’, in all its urgency and power, challenge and comfort.I AM MARK is the Gospel told, without comment or commentary. It has been performed to critical acclaim around the country and abroad, performing to sell-out audiences at three runs at the Edinburgh Fringe.Tickets £5 - call 01508 480576 ( you’ll be greeted by an answerphone but please leave a message)Or email: bachurchwarden@outlook.com https://berghapton.org.uk/events/ https://iam-mark.com/
