A new promenade play reimagining the life and death of Jesus Christ is to be staged in Birmingham.
A Passion for Birmingham will be “a gripping contemporary drama, a political thriller, a study of the abuse of religious power and of friendships ripped apart and rebuilt”.
It will be a collaboration between Birmingham Cathedral, the Old Joint Stock Pub and Theatre and the Wellington pub.
The production will lead its audience around both familiar spaces and hidden spaces in the three venues via the passageways and alleyways which surround them.
Tracey Street, an associate artist with the National Youth Theatre of GB and artistic director of Letters to Eric theatre company, directs.
The play has been written and devised by Tim Jeffries, Tracey Street and the OJS Theatre Company.
A Passion for Birmingham will be staged at various times from Monday until Saturday 14 to 19 April. Tickets which cost £10 are limited to 30 per performance and can be booked through the Old Joint Stock Theatre web site.
