TESTIMONIALS
“The most moving experience I’ve had in this church in 81 years”
“Incredible what just three people can do with three boxes!”
“You could hear a pin drop – a hugely talented cast who kept us captivated.”
“Peter’s expression at the resurrection scene, the angst gone! It was beautiful. And the centurion at the cross, as it went on and on. Superbly done. And the music too. Thank you.”
“I couldn’t see the ending properly because of my own tears.”
“A wonderful depiction of The Passion. Very powerfully performed. Not a sound heard in the audience.”
