I am delighted and honoured to be patron of this exciting, inspirational and moving Easter addition to Richmond’s ever-growing cultural scene. Putting on such a large-scale production in our town will involve many local participants in a whole range of different ways – actors, dress makers, carpenters and joiners, musicians, crowd-scene performers, make-up artists – the list is endless. It will be such an epic event and I encourage everyone in Richmond to get involved in some way. It promises to become as memorable as the York or Wakefield Mystery Plays  – so please join us and help make this event extraordinary.
