Passion Pit Theatre presents
THE DEVIL'S PASSION
or Easter in Hell
a divine comedy in one act
written & performed by Justin Butcher
directed by Guy Masterson
music & sound by Jack C. Arnold
33 AD. Jesus enters Jerusalem to fulfil his destiny. Satan ascends from Hell to stop him. A cosmic battle begins for the soul of humanity.
Award-winning playwright Justin Butcher, author of the world-famous "Scaramouche Jones", starring Pete Postlethwaite & directed by Rupert Goold, the hit anti-war satire "The Madness Of George Dubya" and the controversially acclaimed "Go To Gaza, Drink The Sea", now turns his pen to the greatest story of all.
"Justin Butcher's gloriously elegiac prose reverberates in the memory" (Irish Independent)
By turns comic, gripping, poetic, pungent and heart-stirring, The Devil's Passion offers a radically fresh perspective on the timeless narrative by renowned satirist, playwright and actor Justin Butcher, an audacious hell's-eye-view of the Passion of Christ from a master storyteller. Directed by Olivier-Award winner Guy Masterson ("Morecambe", "Twelve Angry Men", "Animal Farm"), with a haunting and evocative new soundscape by Jack C. Arnold ("War And Peace", "Holy Flying Circus", "The Woman In Black"). 90 mins.
"Butcher's use of language is sensational every line dances like dynamite" (Bristol Evening Post)
