THE TESTAMENT OF MARY
Event Information
Description
WARNING: This thought-provoking play asks us to imagine Mary as simply a mother rather than as the Mother of God. In the vein of other non-traditional approaches, such as The Last Temptation of Christ, it challenges conventional depictions in a way that some may find unsettling.
Some time has passed since Christ's crucifixion, and in Ephesus, the aging and traumatized Mary, the mother of Jesus, seeks to seclude herself. But her solitude is shattered almost daily by visits from two men with their condescending interrogations and leading questions. To her, they are childish, self-deluding, self-important fanatics. Each of them is writing a gospel. Neither is interested in her truth. And she is highly skeptical of theirs.
Brigit Saint Brigit is proud to present The Testament of Mary, a profoundly passionate and thought-provoking play, written by one of the world's most gifted writers, Colm Tóibín and performed by Equity guest artist, Tammy Meneghini, a celebrated, and magnetic actress.
