Description
Drama, conflict, humor, vivid imagery! These are all elements we crave in screen and stage entertainment. In that sense, we're no different from 15th century Londoners flocking to hear the newly published King James Bible come alive.
Event Details
Find out what it was like when Ashley Strand, classically trained actor and Sarasolo Festival Maestro award winner, showcases the beauty and action of the King James Bible through a one-man interpretative reading of the Gospel of Mark at 2 p.m on Saturday April 13th at the Unitarian Universalist Church at 1971 Pine Brook in Venice, FL.
Strand will essentially perform the Gospel of Mark’s action-packed and exciting stories and bring to life characters like John the Baptist, Pilate, Joseph, Mary, the Syro-Phoenician Woman, and Judas. Strand approaches the Gospel as a radio-play where audiences imagine and feel the characters.
“This is a production anyone who appreciates powerful language and drama can enjoy. The villains and heroes are clear,” Strand tells. “It’s almost all plot. It’s a great story and there’s a lot of humor! Most of it is wry, but some of it is simple and homey, which is easy to miss when you’re thinking, ‘This is the Son of God, I better be serious!’”
