Passion Play Tour. LAMPS theatre company

The life, death and resurrection of Jesus are recreated in The Passion, a moving, memorable and ultimately joyful retelling of the Easter story.

Told from the perspectives of Peter, Mary Magdalene and a Roman centurion named Marcus, ‘The Passion’ is a powerful contemporary drama leading us up to and through the events of Holy Week, to the cross and beyond.

What people are saying about LAMPs’ production of The Passion.

“An amazing way to tell of the Passion – especially for those not yet knowing our Lord – so very well done.”

“I couldn’t see the ending properly because of my own tears.”

“A very moving and beautiful portrayal of the most amazing story in history.  Phenomenal performers!”

“I was deeply moved. I wept with Mary. Made me love Jesus more. Thank you so much.”

Kislingbury and Upton Community Church

“Brilliant conception, direction, music and performance!”

Filling Station, Cholsey

“A wonderful depiction of The Passion. Very powerfully performed. Not a sound heard in the audience.”

Shirley Baptist Church, Solihull

“The most moving experience I’ve had in this church in 81 years”

“Incredible what just 3 people can do with 3 boxes!”

“You could hear a pin drop – a hugely talented cast who kept us captivated.”

“Words fail me. Amazing. So powerful. It’s my intention to spread the word as much as I can.  LAMPS must be known.”

Immanuel URC, Southbourne

“Full of insights and emotionally shattering.”

“Very powerful and very descriptive (really helpful as we’re visually impaired.)”

St Matthias, Malvern

“Came across as very real – like they’re talking to you!”

St Margaret’s, Rainham

“Great performance – simple but profound and beautifully produced.”

“We were both very moved by the performance. It was in lots of ways extraordinary – very different perspectives on the Passion, including a particularly moving narrative from the centurion. But all the members of the cast were brilliant.”

“The Holy Spirit in the script, in the music and in the performances of all truly moving and touching heart, soul and mind.”

“A very powerful production – bringing a fresh insight into these wonderful scriptures – very moving indeed.”

“Brilliant enactment of the Passion from an ordinary man’s/woman’s perspective bringing us so naturally to the cross and deepening the enormity of what Christ did for us all.”

St Kenelm’s, Enstone

“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.”
