This novella by Owen Sheers retells the Passion, based on the author's groundbreaking National Theatre of Wales play starring Michael Sheen and performed over three days in Port Talbot.
While the town awaits the arrival of the Company Man, a stranger appears in the windswept dunes, singing songs to the sea. This is just the start of three days of unearthly events in Port Talbot that see the Teacher soothe a suicide bomber and the dead rising from the walls of an underpass. In The Gospel of Us, Owen Sheers reimagines his three-day dramatization of the Passion for the National Theatre of Wales.
