Peter (Richard Short, The Tragedy of Macbeth), a vicar in a small New Zealand town, has his faith tested when he is denied the right to marry his Samoan partner Jason (Nick Afoa, The Lion King) in the church that he has dedicated his life to. When word gets out it divides the local community and unleashes a media storm that tests the couple's relationship to the limit. MYSTERIOUS WAYS is a powerful, courageous story that challenges the church's attitude towards the LGBT+ community, celebrating that with understanding faith, culture and sexuality can co-exist.
