Join us on Easter Weekend for a special screening of Norman Jewison鈥檚 wildly original musical, accompanied by a talk & discussion from Dr. Richard Ascough (Professor of Christian Origins, Queen鈥檚 School of Religion).

Adapted from Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice鈥檚 Broadway rock opera, 鈥淛esus Christ Superstar鈥� recounts the last days of Jesus Christ (Ted Neeley) from the perspective of Judas Iscariot (Carl Anderson), his betrayer. As Jesus鈥� following increases, Judas begins to worry that Jesus is falling for his own hype, forgetting the principles of his teachings and growing too close to the prostitute Mary Magdalene (Yvonne Elliman). After Jesus has an outburst in a temple, Judas turns on him.

Richard Ascough is a Professor in the School of Religion at Queen鈥檚 University. His research and teaching focuses on the history of early Christianity and Greco-Roman religious cultures; his work is part of a larger movement that is exploring modern theories of Christian origins. He has been recognized for his innovative and effective teaching in many ways, including the two top teaching awards at Queen鈥檚 University and a 3M National Teaching Fellowship. He also teaches courses on 鈥淩eligion and Film鈥濃�� so naturally, we鈥檙e thrilled to have him speak at The Screening Room!
