The book of Mark—living theater

"There was silence such as I have rarely heard from the capacity audience...."

"You cannot listen to it spoken like this and thereafter doubt its living power or its contemporaneous meaning for our lives."

"It is compelling theater that is at the same time non-theatrical."

These are some of the superlative reviews given to the production of "St. Mark's Gospel," which played to sold-out houses in England and which has been touring the United States. A television production is also being planned for the United States.

An outstanding feature of the presentation is that the Gospel is narrated entirely from memory by noted British actor Alec McCowen.

Reports of those who have seen the performance speak of being caught up in the immediacy and sacredness of this ultimate story.
