Standing across the road from the Theatre Royal in Newcastle, reporter Phil McDonnell speaks with American playwright John-Michael Tebelak who stands beside a large poster for his play ‘Godspell’. He talks about the origins of the play and is asked if he sees himself as a ‘minstrel missionary’ and why religion is now so saleable. In response to the final question asking him if he was surprised by the plays success he replies with a smile ‘yes’ and provides additional details.
