Directed by Philip Saville (METROLAND), this lavish production adapts the Gospel According to John, the most unique of the four New Testament Gospels. The material is presented so that each and every word of the text is present either in dialogue or narration (provided by Christopher Plummer). Focusing on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus (Henry Ian Cusick), GOSPEL OF JOHN utilizes authentic sets and locales, and the music is played on instruments of the period.
