Event
King James Live
Ashley Strand brings to life the gorgeous language of the King James Bible in this solo performance of the unabridged text of the Gospel According to Mark.
A masterpiece of English literature, the KJV helped shape English culture, inspired generations of writers and worshippers, and has become the most published book in history.
But the KJV was written to be spoken aloud, for a largely illiterate audience, in a style as vivid as its stories, proverbs, and prophecies.
Mark has a classic dramatic arc. The shortest of the gospels, it includes neither the story of Jesus' birth, nor his sermons, but is a spare account of his mission, from his baptism to his death and resurrection.
Mark was first performed as a solo play by Alec McCowen of the RSC, earning a Tony nomination. Alchemical Theatre of Wilmington frees the piece from its traditional trappings by presenting it in the round, giving it the immediacy that has become Alchemical's signature.
Wilmington audiences know Ashley Strand from Mamma Mia! and Shakespeare in Love at OTC, Twelfth Night, Much Ado About Nothing, and Measure for Measure at Alchemical, and Cannibal! The Musical at PSL.
