Saltmine Theatre Company’s Passion Play

Saturday, 19th Apr, 2025 1:00pm

At the invitation of Wilmslow churches, and with the support of the town council, there will be an open-air performance of Saltmine Theatre Company's contemporary Passion Play.

The production was performed on the streets of Birmingham (2019), Norwich (2022), Stafford (2023) and Dudley (2024)

The play is a contemporary retelling of the Passion. Jesus will arrive on a bicycle at Alderley Road besides Sainsburys to act out Palm Sunday. The play will then make its way alongside the Artisan's Market towards the Last Supper, which will be held in the middle of Grove Street; the trial will be in Bank Square and the Crucifixion down in the memorial gardens.

The audience will then be invited inside St Bartholomew's Church for the climax of the Resurrection.

The cast of will be joined by a community cast of volunteers.
