BELIEF ENCOUNTERS WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY BRIAN PEARSON
Presented in association with 'Wild Duck Productions'
Borrow a format made popular by playwright Alan Bennett's 'Talking Heads'; draw settings from a wide variety of New Testament Biblical stories; lift the characters from the 2D page and fashion them for the 3D stage and the result is 'Belief Encounters'. 'Belief Encounters' not only tell stories from some unlikely sources, as well as better known characters, it opens up 'the fifth gospel' - the land, its people, their ways and customs - adding new and exciting insights to the familiar text.
