The Narrow Road – powerful theatre performed by Riding Lights Theatre Company on the journey to Easter
The Narrow Road is a passion play and a moving experience of theatre and worship written expressly for the season leading to Easter. Four actors will retrace the footsteps of Jesus through a world of miracles and madness.
Written by Paul Birch, this extraordinary journey will begin on a dusty road, amid the heat and beauty of ancient Palestine. As the Narrow Road is walked, the already turbulent world is turned upside down and its inhabitants confronted by an unexpected and surprising vision.
York-based Riding Lights is one of the UK’s most successful independent theatre companies and is internationally renowned for over forty years of touring productions. The Narrow Road was first performed in 2010, commissioned jointly by the Dean and Chapter of York and Lightline Pilgrimages.
