In The Gospel of Us, Owen Sheers reimagines his National Theatre of Wales dramatisation of the threeday Passion, set in the streets and clubs of Port Talbot. Sheers novel tells of a town in thrall to the sinister corporation ICU until the day when a stranger appears in the dunes, singing songs to the sea. This is just the start of three days of unearthly events in Port Talbot events that see the Teacher soothe a suicide bomber, and the dead rise in an underpass. "Owen is one of the finest writers at work today. He always finds the sublime in the everyday and the miracle in the mundane." Michael Sheen"Sheers writes with dazzle and poetic economy." The Times"One of the outstanding theatrical events not only of this year, but of the decade."
