Passion Plays on Tour
This Easter many theatre companies are touring productions of Passion Plays to many locations around the UK. The exciting thing about these touring productions is that you can find one more easily. Often the large-scale productions are inaccessible if you don’t live nearby. These smaller, indoor productions can travel round more easily and take place in more local communities. The beauty of touring Passion Plays is that they bring the Easter story closer to many more people! You can find out where these touring productions take place on our map here.
