Honk If You Are Jesus March 2, 2006

By Peter Goldsworthy and Martin Laud Gray, based on the novel Honk If You Are Jesus by Peter Goldsworthy.

This new stage adaptation of world-renowned South Australian author Peter Goldsworthy's seriously funny novel defies categorisation and explodes expectations.

A biting black comedy, Honk If You Are Jesus pits science, religion, innovation and ambition against one another in an all-out brawl for ownership of the future.

Mara Fox is a medical research scientist who has spent her life paying homage to the doctrines of scientific method and observation.

When she is hired by a religious fundamentalist preacher to assist in the resurrection of the extinct Tasmanian Tiger, she begins a journey that unwittingly leads her to attempt the same for one very well-known, ancient religious figure.

Dolly the sheep and decoded genomes are just the tip of the 'berg! As humanity begins to settle into the brave new DNA-driven millennium, what arctic of terrors or salvations lies ahead?
