Commanding demons and controlling storms, a lone man walks out of the desert and, gathering a nation around him, he walks towards certain death in an occupied land. Ridding the tale of two thousand years of religious baggage, Applecart presents Mark’s Gospel combining drama, storytelling, music and film to tell a story of revolution and courage.

Applecart’s creative team is headed up by Peter Moreton and Phil Summers. Peter has extensive experience as performer and Musical Director in the West End, working with companies such as Chichester Festival Theatre, Cheek by Jowl, RSC, Propeller and the National Theatre, and Phil has over twenty years’ experience as a storyteller having trained in improvisation under John Hodgson at Bretton Hall. Applecart’s unique style of performance has attracted capacity audiences at festivals, universities, and conferences around the country. Their unique brand of storytelling and drama is both theatrical and disarming, sometimes funny, and often deeply moving.

The running time for i am Mark is 2 hours including a 20 minute interval.  It has a cast of 4 with accompanying musicians.
