Now in its 2nd year of touring, The Road to the Cross will be back from March – May 2023!

This contemporary stage show will make you laugh, cry and reflect as we follow the story of Jesus and his disciples from Palm Sunday to Pentecost.

Set in the 21st Century, this play challenges the audience to think about the Christian message in a new way. ‘The Road to the Cross’ has an innovative set, with lighting and sound effects, to bring you a visually striking show.

This is a 2-act production, running at approximately 2 hours including a 20 minute interval.
Suitable for ages 12+ (Please be aware that this performance contains scenes of a graphic nature. Viewer discretion is advised.)
