The Christians - DPS ACTING EDITION

Starting in a modest storefront, he now presides over a flock of thousands

Idolised by his followers, today should be a day for joy and celebration

But the sermon that Paul is about to preach will shake the very foundations of his followers' beliefs

As fractures spread throughout his congregation, Paul must fight to prevent his church from tearing itself apart

The Christians is a remarkable exploration of faith and community in the modern world, asking profound questions about what we believe and why

The play was given its US premiere by the Actors Theatre of Louisville, 2014 and had its UK premiere at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, as part of the 2015 Edinburgh Festival Fringe
