A Gospel According To St Luke

Alone on stage, the actor weaves the tale of Christ without props or sets, dressed in modern, casual clothing.THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST LUKE is a stunning soloperformance, memorised word for word from the Authorized (King James) Version, and recounted with the
same passion and surprise listeners must have felt at the first telling. "What makes this show special is its unpretentious honesty" - The Scotsman
