Mysterious Ways
Peter's faith is tested as he's denied marrying his Samoan partner in their church, igniting community division and a media storm.
In the heart of a small New Zealand town, MYSTERIOUS WAYS unfolds a powerful tale of love, faith, and societal upheaval. Peter, a dedicated vicar played by Richard Short ("THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH), finds his world turned upside down when he's denied the right to marry his long-time Samoan partner, Jason (Nick Afoa – THE LION KING), in the very church he's devoted his life to.
As news of their wedding plans spread, it ignites a firestorm of controversy, dividing the tight-knit community and attracting unwanted worldwide media attention. Suddenly, Peter and Jason find themselves at the centre of a national debate, their relationship strained to its breaking point.
This courageous and moving drama delves deep into the clash between traditional religious values and modern love, challenging the church's stance on LGBTQ+ relationships. As Peter grapples with his faith and Jason confronts cultural expectations, their journey becomes a testament to the power of love in the face of adversity.
