My husband and myself congratulate you and all your actors on the Beautiful Soul and Heartfelt Passion of Jesus that was put on Good Friday at Ruffey Lake Park-- The Actor who played JESUS needs a GOLD MEDAL for his untiring action, words from Scripture so clearly memorized and pronounced. Jesus has surely walked with him during the whole Play. We both and few others near us felt we were with Jesus 2000 years ago personally witnessing and walking with Jesus/ Surreal!!!!! The MIRACLES--the woman in adultery, the woman at the well brought us to feel our emotions because of her stunning performances--so did Nicodemus (you Harold) the Blind Bartemeous, the leper, the feeding of the 5000 (us ) we too received a sliver of Bread--the songs (hymns) the Jews and the Pharisees---the stalwart stunning Roman soldiers dressed impeccably, the horses, the young Lady on the Pedestal announcing the STORY of JESUS constantly drawing our attention to JESUS--the Wonderful coloured clothes so aptly chosen, Last but not least of all the CRUCIFIXION ---the Olive Gardens so to say in the background, the scourging and placing of thorns on the head of Jesus and of course the Crucifixion itself with Jesus and two Thieves hanging so beautifully was stunning and on the Cross when at 1 pm Jesus cried !Unto YOUR HANDS LORD I COMMEND MY SPIRIT! the overhead skies DARKENED and WIND was ICY COLD, but the whole scene was so perfectly sad and STILL, even thought they were bare-bodied, Jesus stripes on his back and body, his Crown of thorns was very beautifully emphasised---NOTHING to fault anyone!!!! The laying of Jesus Body--the garments being shared---I can go on and on BUT We want to thank ONE and ALL for your generosity in making this a FREE PLAY--the overall costing give us a shudder--the Horses-the sound system--the props---ALL in ALL it was a TRULY TOUCHING PLAY, one can never hope to see in a Theatre-- God willing the next year we are going to spread the WORD to all our five children and families--relations--friends and of courses all the Churches near to us personally to witness with us Jesus walking in our midst. We would appreciate one copy of the DVD if you can kindly request, we will pay immediately for same. OUR THANKS to each and every Actor/ACTRESS for their TIME---the HEARTS/SOULS of all who witnessed the PLAY have been saved!!! Because JESUS walked amongst US. With kind thoughts and Good wishes to all of you we pray Gods Blessings. We pray that we will meet you soon.

It is an amazing undertaking and the effort put in to authenticity, and reality simply astonishing. Harold, you played your part extremely well as Nicodemus - along with the other members of the council of Pharisees/Sadducees etc. In fact all the actors did extremely and the Crucifixion scene was so realistic.

Firstly, we enjoyed it immensely. Family from overseas visited for the first time, and they thought it was great but, where was Barrabas at the Sentencing, and also Judas could have been hung from the tree? All in all very, very nice!

Congratulations! Great as usual! Noted the slightly different scenes. John telling the story was good. 'Cleansing of the Temple.'

This Passion Play is very perfect performance of the Life on the Cross of Jesus, which is very important to show every Easter time of the plan for all the people of the world, that He is the Son of God, and God is the Divine Master, Healer and Power of the Universe... Well done Pat! All the best, and may the Power of God always be with you and your Committee of this Passion Play!
