THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JESUS, QUEEN OF HEAVEN
Presented by Queen Jesus Productions
Join Queen Jesus for a revolutionary queer ritual in which bread is shared, wine is drunk and familiar stories are reimagined by a transgender Jesus.
This unique show combines theatre with storytelling and ritual in a way that, according to one audience member, “leaves everyone feeling blessed”. Celebrated and award-winning, The Gospel has had an incredible journey over the last decade, touring globally and inspiring a Brazilian production at the epicentre of the county’s struggles against bigotry.
