An epic story in an epic space. Dennis Potter's Son of Man is the story of Jesus from his 39th day in the desert through to his crucifixion. Son of Man is thought provoking and radical. Potter's script takes audiences on a great journey. From heretic and liar to hero and leader, the transformation of Jesus from obscurity to icon is laid bare for audiences. Son of Man challenges many traditional Christian ideas. Potter's Jesus rails against all wars, all prisons, all exploitation, all discrimination; he struggles to pray for his enemies and to love his persecutors. Son of Man shows us a man, not a Messiah.| 12 May 98 to 13 May 98 | Redgrave Theatre Bristol, City of Bristol Performance Details => Venue archive |
