Bruce Kuhn
A one man show based on the Gospel of Luke without any props or costume; sounds scintillating doesn't it? Is my sarcasm coming through? Because it shouldn't, this show is enjoyable and entertaining and shouldn't be judged on its description, which lumps it in with plays aimed at bringing fire and brimstone down on heathen-atheist types like myself. After all, religious texts lay foundations for nearly all types of stories, and when retold by a vivid, engaging and vivacious actor such as Bruce Kuhn, the stories become intensely humanised, allowing us to sink into the story. Saying this, I would have preferred for Kuhn to tackle a lesser known gospel, one in which I didn't already know the narrative.
The Lot, 13 - 18 Aug (not 15), 3.00pm (4.30pm), 9.00 (8.00), fpp198.
