Bruce Almighty

Bruce Kuhn live in concert during his Australian tour


















"Immediate impact and emotion" was how Rachel Kohn described Bruce Kuhn's stage-show performance of The Gospel of Luke. In a wide ranging discussion on Radio National's "The Spirit of Things" Bruce and Rachel explore such issues as:
  • What liberties an actor can take with scripture
  • Acting technique
  • Bringing back the oral tradition of the Bible
  • Jesus' attitude to women
  • The resurrection of Jesus
Throughout the discussion Bruce gives live performances of parts of his show including the persistent friend, the rich fool, Jesus and the leper (in dutch!), the risen Jesus, the prodigal son and the magnificat.
