The Messiah
by Julian Hough, Jude Kelly, John Ramm, Patrick Barlow
What readers are saying
Readers appreciate the comedic potential of the play, particularly when performed by talented actors. Many believe it could shine in a live production setting, especially as a light-hearted Christmas show despite some reservations about its readability.
Synopsis
The National Theatre of Brent returns with almost certainly one of the most profound yet at the same time highly popular oeuvres ever known in the entire British Theatre - The Messiah.
The entire company of two, led by artistic director Desmond Olivier Dingle and his complete ensemble, Raymond Box, re-enact the entire Christmas story, including all of the best-loved characters, Joseph, Mary, and Archangel Gabriel, Herod, God and many more.
First performed to massive and universal acclaim in 1983, the new Messiah is a radical yet deeply moving updating of the original award-winning text, including many specially researched brand new sequences culled from the very latest biblical findings.
