“Mr Callow, to me, is very much an actor of the old school. I see him very much part of the tradition of Laurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson and John Gielgud. He has a certain style, a certain exaggerated panache and command of the stage that you don’t get very much nowadays. I hate to use clichés but Mr Callow really did bring Jesus to life as he told, in simple dramatic (rather than preachy) style, some of the great episodes from the gospels. . . This was a tour-de-force, a truly virtuoso performance . . “

“…The staging of this production is spare, and wonderfully so. An empty stage with a vibrant backdrop of lights, paintings, and curtains changes each scene smoothly and with minimum clutter of props. At the front of the stage sits Hanif Khan, a musician who, with a series of hand-drums and other small instruments, conveys the tone and emotion of the play marvellously.”
