An award-winning company is bringing a new performance of The Narrow Road to Lichfield Cathedral as part of a national tour.
Paul Birch’s play is being performed by the Riding Lights Theatre Company and has already drawn supportive reviews from audiences.
Setting the scene for the production, a spokesman said:
“Amid the heat and beauty of ancient Palestine, a man stands on a dusty road. An extraordinary journey will take place, one which will re-trace the footsteps of Jesus into a world of miracles and madness, violence and liberation.
“As The Narrow Road is walked, this turbulent world is turned upside down, its inhabitants confronted by an unexpected and surprising vision. Compellingly performed, The Narrow Road asks each of us to review the understanding and practice of our own faith in relation to that journey today.”
At intervals, the performance creates space for other expressions of worship, music and reflection arising directly out of the drama. The whole presentation becomes a powerful act of remembrance which is both participatory and reflective.
Tickets for the production on April 9 are £10 (£8 concessions). To book visit the Cathedral Bookshop or call 01543 306150.
