So last week\u2019s blog was most succinct as we were filming the first two episodes of \u201cTheophilus \u2013 The Musical\u201d \u2013 \u201cA Journey of Faith.\u201d
\nSo, you may well ask what is \u201cTheophilus \u2013 The Musical \u2013 \u201cA Journey of Faith.\u201d? Well, we have taken from the full 2- hour stage production those conversations that Luke and Theophilus share which relate to some of the challenging issues that people face, especially those on a journey of faith. The two episodes that we filmed centred on \u201cWill I go to heaven when I die?\u201d and \u201cHow can a God of love allow all the suffering in the world.\u201d
\nWe are looking to fund the remaining 5 episodes which include \u201cHow can I receive forgiveness?\u201d and \u201cWill God protect me if I become a Christian?\u201d
\nAs in the staged concert, Luke was played by Edward Baker- Duly and Theophilus by Natasha Bain. They interacted wonderfully and brilliantly conveyed the dynamic between Luke the historian and physician and his patron, a woman of noble birth who had been given the honourable name of Theophilius.
\nTheophilus was the recipient of Luke\u2019s Gospel, and Luke now wishes to share his second volume, \u201cThe Acts of the Apostles.\u201d It is as the story of \u201cActs\u201d unfolds that Theophilus is prompted to ask Luke challenging questions.
\nIn addition to Edward and Natasha, Richard Mellion brilliantly portrayed Peter, singing a number of songs including \u201cYou are the Shepherd of my Soul\u201d and \u201cJust put your hand in the hand of God\u201d.
\nJoffy Girling was, of course the Musical Director and again was invaluable. Ross and Kanah from the film studio were great \u2013 professional, accommodating, and good company.
\nAlso, a very special mention for our Director, Casey Lloyd who held the whole thing together. He was incredible patient with me and made many wise suggestions re the script that allowed it to move on so much from the May staged concert- is now so much more real and accessible.
\nThe edit is likely to take two weeks \u2013 I can\u2019t wait to share it with you. <\/p>\n
