"A Passion not for the faint hearted. Hard hitting, uncompromising.... a faithful, contemporary take on a classic story."
The Public Reviews.com
"One of the greatest stories ever told is brilliantly retold as a contemporary drama by this talented company... the opening night audience were clearly deeply moved by the emotional and at times brutal scenes during the promenade-style production.... gripping and heartbreaking." **** Birmingham Mail
"a spiritual and physical journey... down-to-earth and no-nonsense. The play moves from the Cathedral grounds to the Old Joint Stock – every nook, cranny, cubby hole and staircase is inventively used in this promenade production.
Genuinely committed work from the entire company lends the play great truth. And most powerful of all, within the context of this Christian story, a great multi-cultural company joining as one in a powerful cross-cultural message that can’t be spoken too often. Yes, Birmingham knows how to do it! " Reviewsgate.com
'For sheer ambition, creativity and commitment this young company cannot be faulted.' 5 STARS What's On Birmingham
"Fun, challenging, brilliantly acted and written, and very moving too. My friend and I agreed that it was the most original event we had ever attended during Holy Week." Audience Member
