Dramatic Mark (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781036956165)

In Dramatic Mark Christopher Bryan presents the Gospel according to St Mark arranged for dramatic performance by a group of actors. His text is a careful endeavour to balance faithfulness to Mark's own text with the what is necessary for satisfactory theatrical presentation, notably the provision of direct speech wherever that is possible. Bryan also provides the reader with an Introduction that sets the gospel in its historical and literary context and shows why performance is particularly appropriate for it, and explanatory footnotes throughout the text commenting on particular points of interest or difficulty.
