Mondays in Lent

The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven

Occurring
for 2 hours
Venue
St Bride's
Address
Percy Street Liverpool, L8 7LT, United Kingdom

Join Queen Jesus in Liverpool for two nights only at St Bride's Church in the heart of the city's Georgian Quarter.

The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven is a unique, emotive, one-woman theatrical piece that “leaves everyone feeling blessed” as it seeks to end trans discrimination. Jesus has returned to earth as a trans woman and this is your chance to come and meet her even if you don’t normally go to church.

The show is written and performed by Jo Clifford (TAMING OF THE SHREW, EVE) – one of Scotland’s most renowned playwrights with over 100 plays to her name, Stonewall role model and recently elected an Elder of the United Reformed Church.

Described as having “one of the most remarkable journeys in recent theatre history” (Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman) the show has indeed had an incredible journey over the last fifteen years since its premiere as part of the Glasgay festival in 2009. From being the subject of hate, abuse and a mass protest outside the initial show, to hundreds of critically acclaimed and sold-out performances in the UK and Brazil. Indeed, the Brazilian version has become the most talked about work in the country and is at the epicentre of the struggle against censorship and bigotry.

This is Jo’s first time performing her show in Liverpool, and it is a chance for the audience to be blessed with a sense of shared connection. There has never been a more important time for such a simple message of hope and of love.

“I wrote The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven because I wanted to resist. Resist the profound and damaging shame and fear and guilt that has been with me almost all my life. The shame and the fear and the guilt that comes on almost all of us trans women and men born into this hostile world.” - Jo Clifford
