We look forward to welcoming you to the 2023 Edinburgh Easter Play, The Life of Jesus Christ by Peter Hutley, adapted and directed by Suzanne Lofthus. The performance will feature a cast of about 30 people in period costumes, including the participation of the Antonine Guards. The show will take place on Saturday 8th April 2023 at 2 pm in Princes Street Gardens.
The Easter Play is accompanied by two wraparound events:
– a Giving Tree to collect charitable donations for national and international causes
– a Treasure Hunt for families, with Gospel-inspired clues and prizes for every participant. Children of all ages are welcome, but must be accompanied by at least an adult. Register in advance here or at this link https://forms.gle/RRcnn77qeog8WRsJ7

Appeal for Donations
We are ever grateful for any donations you have given over the years, however as costs continue to rise we are always in need of contributions if you are able.
If you could spare the cost of a coffee or an evening meal, we would be so grateful (You could call it your “lost supper”).
If most of the 5,000 viewers donated the cost of a coffee, we would be covered. Would it not be great to have 5,000 “feed” our production?
