A.D: A Trilogy on the Life of Jesus Christ

Edwin Morgan, Scotland's best-loved poet, returns to the stage after his celebrated Phaedra with a powerful and shocking millennial examination of the life of Jesus Christ as a man among men.

Jesus, a human figure in an inhuman time, experiences all that a man can experience; Morgan departs from the Gospels in his exploration of how this Person came to know His world. His love affair with an unmarried woman, Helen, and a declaration of love from John,

'the disciple whom Jesus loved', are in the larger character of Jesus that Morgan discovers.

'My ambition is to tell a good story.'

The year 2000 has been a triumphant annus mirabilis for Morgan, and A.D. is a fitting culmination; honest, candid and experimental in spiritual and linguistic terms.
