...and Jesus Moonwalks the Mississippi

Take me to the river.

This genre-defying “signature play” by critically-acclaimed writer Marcus Gardley weaves together gods and myths from different cultures and times in a distinctively American tapestry. Lyrical, intense, and uncompromising, Jesus Moonwalks transforms the Civil War into a contemporary epic poem.
