Looking ahead to Lent, this passion play, by Henri Gheon, will be performed by the Hampstead Players between Passion Sunday and Palm Sunday, on Thursday and Friday, 10th and 11th April, at 7.30 pm and on Saturday, 12th April, at 2.30 pm. The play follows the traditional 14 Stations of the Cross (not entirely the same as the Stations to be illustrated in this church), each short scene being descriptive of the happening at each Station. It is a challenging play, which is not simply descriptive of the progress to and the crucifixion of Christ but forces viewers to consider their own responsibility. As such, it is an ideal preparation for Holy Week.
More information will be given in the March magazine but this early notice is given so that you can note this as a Lent event. Entry will be free but there will be a retiring collection.
