In his latest all-true theatrical monologue, award winning solo performer Martin Dockery wrestles with his own lies and infidelities as he comically explores the profane and profound in the biblical story of Jesus. Traveling from a theme park where hundreds of tourists watch as Jesus is crucified daily to the town where a billion people celebrate his birth annually, Dockery attempts to get inside the mind of a man who lived 2000 years ago, if he ever lived at all.
