The Fifth Gospel. A fusion of drama and documentary written and performed by Nabil Shaban (star of last year's Royal Court Theatre production of Iranian Nights) with Tina Leslie. 'Why me? Was my soul especially wicked that I should incur a greater curse? Do I want a miracle?' A young disabled pilgrim to Lourdes confronts her inner torments about the 'miracle' which might make her 'whole' and thus 'good'. Her guide is a Victorian magic lanternist who has strayed into the 20th century to ask some uncomfortable questions about the nature of miracles, and about how the Christian church has treated disability.
