The Messiah

About

Two actors and an opera singer arrive by donkey to masterfully, movingly, and miraculously enact the greatest story ever told (with some minor alterations along the way). Three performers play a cast of thousands in this absurd Christmas comedy that melds the sublime, the ridiculous and the truly angelic.

“Brings a lovely sense of anarchy to the Nativity story – this funny, silly show is joyous seasonal entertainment.”
