"Within the next hour, our operatives will isolate, engage and capture or kill the notorious leader of the most extreme, dangerous and contagious ideology to emerge in the modern era, whose terror activities represent the gravest threat to our interests across the region and the wider world. I refer, of course, to the radical preacher and populist demagogue Yshua Bar-Yessuf the man known, by way of shorthand to our operatives, as 'Jesus'."
33 AD. Jesus enters Jerusalem to fulfill his destiny. Satan ascends from Hell to stop him. A battle begins - for the soul of humanity.
"One of the most remarkable evenings I have spent in the theatre." David Suchet

"The nuance of Butcher's writing and the intelligence and rigour of its theology make 'The Devil's Passion' such a worthwhile and forceful piece of theatre ... deeply engaged with a radical conception of spiritual reconciliation ... theological expansiveness [;;;and];;; fascinating elasticity of thought." The Stage & Television Today
"A serious & seriously fine piece of writing, terrific performance, startlingly original presentation." Church Times
Award-winning playwright Justin Butcher, author of the world-famous "Scaramouche Jones", 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.
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").
Duration: 100 mins, plus a 15-minute interval.
