A few words from members of our audience:
I saw something wonderful happen in a scruffy room above a pub in East London...
On the first Sunday of every month, an extremely diverse group of people fight their way to the bar...
They sit around a tiny stage with a keyboard and a beautiful backdrop, and wait for magic to be spun... The magic comes from Applecart, a theatre company using songs and storytelling to turn the Gospels into vivid drama - rich, poetic, witty and brand new every performance...
What I had not expected was that I would still be thinking about what I had heard a day, a week, then a month later.
... Is it deeply enriching? You bet your life!
by Peter Graystone, Greenbelt Performing Arts
"Inventive, entertaining and challenging... I found it utterly compelling."
"Another fantastic, thought provoking evening."
"Brilliant – Seeing is believing. "
"My second one now and I have been blown away by both. Can’t wait to see you on the big stages in the future."
"Amazing, very thought provoking!"
"Applecart has got integrity, the sort of rugged honesty people I think are crying out for. It cuts through the crap, reads the Bible properly, intelligently, respectfully, and accurately, and gets to grips with the difficult bits that make it live. I loved it."
"It is really encouraging to see people with natural humour and theological understanding using it to such creative effect."
"There's a touch of an updated element of 'The Mystery Plays' about Applecarts offerings. At times deeply moving their work is not without a strong element of fun, even mischievousness and the true blessing is when the two merge to create drama at its best. Applecart are, in essence, tellers of 'the Story'. I know I'm not alone in the deep appreciation I have for the way they tell it. Simply to say; 'Thanks for the telling."
