In conjunction with the IofC UK National Meeting, Renewal Arts (UK) hosts Footprints Theatre presents comic re-workings of two well-known biblical stories:
Nora’s Ark and Shepherd’s Song

Nora’s Ark is a musical re-telling of the Noah’s
Ark story but from the point of view of Noah’s wife, Nora. The Chester Cycle is famed for its take on Nora, she
