Standard Broadway 14" x 22" window card on light card stock of this landmark and legendary theatrical performance..

"In 1977, Alec McCowen – unanimously regarded then and now as one of the finest actors in the English language – gave his first solo performance of St. Mark’s Gospel (King James Version) with minimal staging in a tiny church basement in Newcastle, England. Since these humble beginnings, the McCowen St. Mark’s Gospel has become a theatrical marvel of our time. Mr. McCowen, who recites the entire text of the Gospel from memory in this presentation, was nominated for a Tony Award in 1979 for his impressive work. In addition to performing it for enthusiastic audiences on Broadway, he took the production on tour, which included a performance at the White House for President and Mrs. Carter. In its review of the 1990 revival of St. Mark’s Gospel, The Christian Science Monitor stated: “Clarity, conviction, narrative thrust, and a vivid immediacy are...the keynotes of [McCowen’s] performance....” And The New York Times lauded it as “a performance as revelation” and “a one-man play, in which the actor becomes a conduit of genius.”
