Jan Berry and Alma Fritchley are ministers in the United Reformed Church who specialise in the spoken word, including poetry and prayers, sometimes using feminist perspectives.

These two monologues reimagine two women at the foot of the Cross observing the crucifixion of Jesus from their unique perspective, and the final piece is a powerful reflection on the character of Mary, the Mother of Jesus.

Performed live at the Seeds of Hope DreamSpace Creative Day 2023.
