This year we are bringing back our open-air performance of the Passion of Christ (last shown in 2012). The Passion Play is an outdoor production, held at the Hillside Cemetery with contemporary music by Stuart Clappison and in the style of a modern TV News Production: CNN Houghton-style.  This modern take on the events of Good Friday loses none of the power and profundity of Christ’s final 24 hours. Everyone who attends gets drawn into the action because the audience becomes the crowd walking alongside Christ to his Crucifixion.

Please do make it a priority to come along this Good Friday 3rd April at 12 noon: you will not regret it.

A free shuttle bus will take spectators up to the cemetery from the Broadway (DH4 4DN) in Houghton-le-Spring.

If you are interested in taking part in the play or helping with the organisation of this big event, please contact us.
