Synopsis
This play is inspired by the Gospel’s writings of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and another Gospel, the fragmented GOSPEL OF MARY MAGDALENE. Mary Magdalene’s Gospel, discovered in 1896 in Cairo, Egypt, continues her story, describing a subsequent meeting with the Apostles.
The Catholic Church has consistently diminished the role of women throughout its history. Only recently has Mary Magdalene’s influence been acknowledged and early claims trying to diminish her as a prostitute dismissed. This play attempts to look at the early, tumultuous history of the church through the eyes of a major figure largely excluded from it.
