Jermyn Street Theatre in Support of St James' Church Piccadilly Passion Pit Theatre Presents THE DEVIL'S PASSION
By: BWW News Desk Apr. 06, 2017
"Within the next hour, our operatives will isolate, engage and capture or kill the notorious leader of the most extreme, dangerous and contagious ideology to emerge in the modern era ... I refer, of course, to the radical preacher and populist demagogue Y'shua Bar-Yessuf - the man known, by way of shorthand to our operatives, as 'Jesus'."
By turns comic, gripping, poetic, pungent and heart-stirring, The Devil's Passion offers a radically fresh perspective on the timeless narrative by renowned satirist, playwright and actor Justin Butcher, an audacious hell's-eye view of the Passion of Christ from a master storyteller. Directed by Olivier-Award winner Guy Masterson (Morecambe, Twelve Angry Men, Animal Farm), with a haunting and evocative new soundscape by Jack C. Arnold (War And Peace, Holy Flying Circus, The Woman In Black).
Award-winning playwright Justin Butcher, author of the world-famous Scaramouche Jones, starring Pete Postlethwaite and directed by Rupert Goold, the hit anti-war satire The Madness Of George Dubya and the controversially acclaimed Go To Gaza, Drink The Sea, now turns his pen to the greatest story of all.
Supported by Trevisan & Cuonzo and Waverley Learning.
