Worcester Passion Play

Last year on Good Friday, more than 1,000 people came and witnessed a live open air performance in Cathedral Square depicting the final day of the life of Jesus: the Last Supper, the Betrayal in the garden, his Trial before Pontius Pilate, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection.

The production team have decided to take a break this year - but we would like to say a big "Thank you" to everyone involved in the Passion Play, and to all those who came and watched it.​

For Easter 2025, we would like to encourage churches and small groups to consider showing the video of last year's performance - maybe as part of your Good Friday reflections, or an evening event during Holy Week.

​

We simply ask for a donation of £10 towards the cost of production and postage - but you may wish to invite those attending to make a donation too.

​

If you are interested, please send an email to:-

worcesterpassionplay@gmail.com

and we will get a digital copy to you on a USB flash drive. Unfortunately we are unable to provide DVD copies.​​​

About Us

Why do we perform the Passion Play?
