Live performance of Mark’s Gospel – Thur 17th April 2025
In the run-up to celebrating Jesus’s death and resurrection, you are invited to attend a live performance of the whole of Mark’s Gospel by Matt Britton.
Mark’s Gospel is often called the ‘action’ gospel because it is a condensed version of the life of Jesus, and because it is condensed, it focuses on more of the action, and interactions of his life and ministry.
The performance is being hosted at the Lighthouse Project, from 7pm on Thursday evening 17th April 2025.
Admission is free, there will be refreshments and opportunity to chat before the live action begins.

Mark’s Gospel is presented as a high-octane eye-witness account.
Memorised from scripture, word for word, and told with urgency, excitement, and good old northern grit, this is a compelling ninety-minute rollercoaster of a ride through the speediest of gospels!
Scripture comes to life, as the written word is heard not read, in one flowing narrative, with no chapter breaks. Relive the healing of the man with a withered hand, the calming of the storm, and feeding of the 5000 as if you were there.
Seen and heard in one sitting, actor, Matt Britton, animates the stories of Mark as if eye-witness to it all. Alone on stage, no gimmickry, no elaborate staging or props, simply a storyteller armed with the greatest story ever told, this touring piece brings whole new meaning to ‘living epistle.’

About Matt Britton
Matt is an award-winning theatre-maker with over 25 years of industry experience.
As former artistic director of In Yer Face Theatre Co, he forged a reputation for staging theatre in non-theatre spaces and engaging audiences and participants with restricted access to the arts. His work is committed to social change, cultural transformation and the empowerment of the oppressed.
He creates inclusive projects, working with diverse participants, improving wellbeing, confidence and transformation.
His innovative performances are hard-hitting, imaginative, and deeply spiritual, exploring themes of redemption and justice.
As an actor he has performed on commercial stage, radio and television, with his self-penned ‘in bloom’ winning a BBC playwright award. He is happiest creating theatre for and with prisons, churches, communities, and young people.
Married with four children, Matt currently teaches acting, creative writing and theatre-in-prison to undergraduates at Arden School of Theatre, Manchester. He’s both a Man Utd fan (don’t hold it against him if you support a different team) and a believer in restorative justice- the two may very well be connected!
