In keeping with my apparent streak of theatre photography, here is a selection of photos from a production of "The Singer," an original adaptation of a novel of the same name. "The Singer" (the book) was published in the 1970s, and it sought to retell the Biblical story of Jesus in new language, renaming all of the well-known characters from the story of Jesus and thereby making its audience reconsider the story anew. Joyce de Ruiter-Kremers, a friend of mine and a fellow international Groninger, adapted the novel along with Hester Nijhoff, Anke Kolbe, Mark Speirs and Matthijs den Dekker, nearly all of whom also portrayed the iconic characters in the play. Vineyard Groningen, an international church with services in English, presented the play, and after the long process of adaptation, I was glad to be a part of seeing it come to life.
