Only 2 weeks and 2 days before the 20th anniversary of our musical “His Story” on Saturday, November 8th – performances at 3.00 pm and 7.30 pm
Here is the storyline:
Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
In John’s house, he and Mary, mother of Jesus are deep in conversation. John realises that he and Mary know more about Jesus than anyone else in the world and has the idea of writing a book about His life. Joined by the disciple Peter, Mary and John reminisce on the life of Jesus and the Gospel story unfolds in a fusion of music, dance, song and theatre.
Next week I’ll share a little of our three brilliant actors who play Mary mother of Jesus, and the disciples John and Peter. Of course, there is also the Mustard Seed Soul and Gospel Band, soloists Lucy Stimpson- Maynard (who features in todays song) and Ross Gill plus the Alverstoke School of Dance and the St Mary’s R.C Primary School Choir.
