EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment from the North East Festivals in 1971. In the spotlight stands Michael Dickinson of Durham, embodying the role of Jesus in the renowned play "Son of Man". The setting is St Johns Church in Newcastle, where this remarkable performance took place as part of the Newcastle Festival on September 11th. With his head held high and determination etched across his face, Michael carries a heavy wooden cross upon his shoulders. This symbolic act portrays both struggle and devotion, encapsulating the essence of Jesus Christ's journey. As he walks through the church grounds, one can almost feel the weight he bears while marveling at his unwavering commitment to bring this timeless story to life. The image exudes an air of solemnity yet also hints at moments of enjoyment amidst religious fervor. It invites us to reflect on our own beliefs and contemplate what it means to carry our own crosses in life. Though we do not know Michael's age or background, his portrayal radiates authenticity and dedication. This photograph serves as a testament to how festivals like these provide leisurely opportunities for individuals to connect with their faith and engage with profound stories that have shaped humanity for centuries. Preserved by NCJ's Memory Lane Prints, this snapshot transports us back to a significant event in history when art merged seamlessly with religion, leaving an indelible mark on those who witnessed it firsthand.
