The Diocese of Parramatta’s Family & Life Office in partnership with Artes Christi is sponsoring a performance of The Jeweller’s Shop: A meditation on the Sacrament of Matrimony Passing on Occasion into a Drama by St John Paul II. Decades before he was called to the global stage, Karol Wojtyla (St John Paul II) was a playwright and actor in the Rhapsodic Theatre in Krakow, Poland, a secret underground company strictly prohibited by the Nazis. With no props, theatrical lights or sets, these plays came to rely entirely on the power of “the word”. The Jeweller’s Shop is the most famous of all the Rhapsodic Theatre plays and is itself a profound insight into St John Paul’s understanding of human love, relationships and marriage.
