JESUS My Boy, the story of Jesus seen through the eyes of Joseph, an ordinary and down-to-earth man, dismayed at how his image is later portrayed in Christian art work, will be presented at The Market Theatre by Worcester Repertory Company.
An extremely humorous, incredibly moving, and beautifully and cleverly written play by John Dowie – previously performed in the West End by international star Tom Conti.
Meet Joseph, just about the worst carpenter in the area. He first got to know his wife when she returned to complain about a table she had bought from him/ It didn’t stop him asking her out and eventually they married. A pretty unremarkable marriage until Mary announces that she is pregnant and that Joseph is not the father. When the boy grows up, he turns out to have a remarkable talent with wood, lending further weight to the idea that Joseph might not be the father! This young man, however, has more important things to do than make furniture.
Jesus My Boy is at The Market Theatre, Ledbury on Thursday, December 11 at 8pm. To book, call the box office on 07967 517125 or visit themarkettheatre.com.
