DESCRIPTION:Join Queen Jesus in Liverpool for two nights only at St Bride'
 s Church in the heart of the city's Georgian Quarter. \n\nThe Gospel Accor
 ding to Jesus\, Queen of Heaven is a unique\, emotive\, one-woman theatric
 al piece that “leaves everyone feeling blessed” as it seeks to end tra
 ns discrimination. Jesus has returned to earth as a trans woman and this i
 s your chance to come and meet her even if you don’t normally go to chur
 ch.\n\nThe show is written and performed by Jo Clifford (TAMING OF THE SHR
 EW\, EVE) – one of Scotland’s most renowned playwrights with over 100 
 plays to her name\, Stonewall role model and recently elected an Elder of 
 the United Reformed Church.\n\nDescribed as having “one of the most rema
 rkable journeys in recent theatre history” (Joyce McMillan\, The Scotsma
 n) the show has indeed had an incredible journey over the last fifteen yea
 rs since its premiere as part of the Glasgay festival in 2009. From being 
 the subject of hate\, abuse and a mass protest outside the initial show\, 
 to hundreds of critically acclaimed and sold-out performances in the UK an
 d Brazil. Indeed\, the Brazilian version has become the most talked about 
 work in the country and is at the epicentre of the struggle against censor
 ship and bigotry.\n\nThis is Jo’s first time performing her show in Live
 rpool\, and it is a chance for the audience to be blessed with a sense of 
 shared connection. There has never been a more important time for such a s
 imple message of hope and of love.\n\n“I wrote The Gospel According to J
 esus\, Queen of Heaven because I wanted to resist. Resist the profound and
  damaging shame and fear and guilt that has been with me almost all my lif
 e. The shame and the fear and the guilt that comes on almost all of us tra
 ns women and men born into this hostile world.” - Jo Clifford\n\nMeet th
 e playwright in conversation on \nFriday 25th April\n7.30pm\nentrance by d
