Passion Play for Easter 2017- Edinburgh
Written by Eloho Efemuai on 6th March 2017
‘I Knew A Man’ is based on the book of Isaiah and the 23rd Psalm. The performance is mainly choral, but includes elements of narration. The duration of the play is approximately one hour.
The narrative is spoken by the Roman Soldier who stood at the foot of the Cross holding the robe Jesus wore….he tells the story of each person, starting with Mary the Mother of Jesus and all the events that took place that day.
This play by Jeanne Sowinski is being rehearsed and performed by local churches together for Easter 2017.
If you would like to sing and take part in the production an initial meeting for anyone interested (where the play will be explained and auditions for different parts will take place) will be on Sunday 26th February @ 2.00pm at St Cuthbert’s Episcopal Church, Westgarth Avenue, Colinton, EH13 0BB.
