Review: "The Secret Life of Jesus" at IndyFringe would make a better book

"Secret Book of Jesus" written and performed by Phillip Low

INDIANA---Dedicated to "the master storyteller Jesus," the IndyFringe production of "The Secret Book of Jesus" is performed with lots of passion and the promise of drama. The program booklet describes it as a first attempt at "harmony of the New Testament apocryyphal gospels," and would be far better suited as a book than as a performance. It's not that the content is bad theology, although I'll leave that to clergy to decide. It's simply bad theatre of the sort that puts audiences to sleep. Produced by Maximum Verbosity, this storytelling would be better produced as a book than an inspirational  play.
