The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven

Past event at Summerhall

Wed 05 Aug

Entry from 7

Written and performed by legendary trans playwright, performer and poet Jo Clifford, this unique and extraordinary show combines theatre with storytelling, spoken word and ritual in a way that, according to one audience member, ‘leaves everyone feeling blessed’. 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. The Guardian’s ‘shows not to miss.’ Featured on BBC Four’s Edinburgh Extra. ‘Reaffirms everyone’s right to live free of discrimination and prejudice’ (Lyn Gardner, Guardian). www.madeinscotlandshowcase.com
