A.D.: A Trilogy of Plays on the Life of Jesus

Edwin Morgan

Edwin Morgan returns to the stage with an examination of the life of Jesus as a man among men. Jesus is portrayed as a human figure in an inhuman time. A declaration of love from his closest disciple, John, described in his own Gospel as the “Disciple who Jesus loved”, comes to the fore in Morgan’s efforts to explore the character of the real man.
