a production by high street players
three marys - 31st march, 7.30pm
As evening approaches, three women sharing one name gather for a simple supper.
Women bound together by their relationships to one man – Jesus.
As darkness falls the women begin to share memories that they have kept to themselves until now - deeply personal memories in which they relive moments of despair and darkness as well as moments of deep joy.
Through sharing together comes the realisation that Jesus’ love knows no bounds.
Three Marys allows us to share in the innermost thoughts of three of the most important women in Jesus’ life. As we discover more about their interactions with him we are invited to reflect on our own relationship with Jesus.
This intense drama is recommended for anyone over 12 years of age.
No pre-booking required, just come along.
