By Sara Ruhl. Directed by Caitlin Lowans.
Friday, April 28, 2017 at 7:30PM

Hal & Martha Hyer Wallis Theater
1949 Campus Drive

Evanston, IL 60208

Sarah Ruhl's acclaimed Passion Play takes us behind the scenes of three communities attempting to stage the popular dramatization of the death and resurrection of Christ. From Queen Elizabeth's England to Hitler's Germany to Reagan's America, Ruhl takes us on a humorous yet unsettling journey filled with lust, faith, and a lot of fish. This intimate epic journeys through different historical and socials moments where the community of players grapple in different ways with the transformative nature of art, with politics never far in the background.
