Redemption Song - 22nd March

Riding Lights will be performing their Easter production Redemption Song at Highfield Church on Easter Saturday, 22nd March at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £5 (£2.50 for concessions), and are available by phoning the box office on 023 8055 8234.

'A moving combination of powerful theatre, meditation, prayer and corporate worship'

In Riding Lights' own words, the play starts and ends at the cross - that savage, unlooked for place which more than any other reveals the true identity of Jesus Christ.

Full of vividly drawn characters from the gospels, Les Ellison’s new play gives many illuminating insights which take us under the skin of the passion story. Whether poor or powerful, privileged or dispossessed, no one walks away untouched by an encounter with the one life which constantly provokes the question:

'Who do you say I am?'

The script is divided into six episodes to create space for other expressions of worship, music and reflection arising directly out of the drama. The whole presentation becomes a powerful act of remembrance which is both participatory and reflective.

Shot through with moments of great joy and great conflict, robustly and compellingly performed, Redemption Song asks each of us to review our understanding of our own faith in the searing bright light of the crucifixion of Christ.
