Welcome to the Aberdeen Passion
The passion story has been told and retold as a play over the centuries in a variety of styles and adaptations. "The Aberdeen Passion - One Life Given" is a traditional passion play, involving over one hundred performers through a blend of onstage action, a live band and choir performing modern songs with lyrics specially written for the production. The play is a faithful retelling of arguably the greatest story ever told, drawing its source material directly from the Gospel of St. Luke.. This adaptation of Jesus Christ's last days is an amateur production written and directed by Andrew Sykes, an Aberdeen local, and is supported by, and draws its cast and crew from, members of local churches in Aberdeen and the North East. Those involved are both Christian and non-Christian, drawn together by the amazing story that unfolds over the final few days in the life of who H.G. Wells referred to as "...easily the dominant figure in all history".
"The Aberdeen Passion - One Life Given" will be performed Friday 6th and Saturday 7th April 2012 (Easter Weekend) in the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre.
