Archdeacon Robert Miller, the producer on the project, highlighted the local importance of the production, saying: “Each year, the Walled City Passion continues to grow as a key event in the North West’s Easter calendar.

“This portrayal celebrates our unique heritage and platforms talented local performers. 2025’s performance promises to be an unforgettable experience that blends tradition with contemporary storytelling.”
