Passion Play

by Sarah Ruhl Playwright

Overview

Dramatic Comedy

Characters: 8 male 3 female (with doubling)

Hailed by the New Yorker's John Lahr as "extraordinary" "bold" and "inventive" Sarah Ruhl's Passion Play takes us behind the scenes of three communities attempting to stage the death and resurrection of Christ. From Queen Elizabeth's England to Hitler's Germany to Reagan's America Ruhl's exploration of devotion takes us on a humorous yet unsettling journey filled with lust whimsy and a lot of fish.
