ACTOR Johnathan Darby steps into the shoes of Joseph for a one man play which tells the story of Jesus.
Worcester Repertory Company presents Jesus My Boy which will be performed at The Market Theatre, Ledbury on Thursday, December 11.
Joseph is just about the worst carpenter in the area.
He first got to know his wife when she returned to complain about a table she had bought from him - but it did not stop him asking her out.
The couple have a pretty unremarkable marriage until Mary announces that she is pregnant and that Joseph is not the father.
When the boy grows up he turns out to have remarkable talent with wood, lending further weight to the idea that Joseph may not be the father.
The young man has more important things to do than make furniture, however.
He must set out on the road to his destiny - an agonising death followed by the most remarkable set of events the world has even seen.
The show begins at 8pm and tickets, costing £11, are available online at themarkettheatre.com or from The Master’s House, St Katherine’s car park, open Monday and Tuesday 9.30am to 4pm and Friday 9.30am to 2pm.
