Fall under Godspell

MUSICAL lovers look set to enjoy a heavenly dose of song and dance when Stratford Musical Theatre Company performs the hit show Godspell at the Royal Shakespeare Company’s new studio theatre at The Other Place.

This modern twist on a timeless tale portrays Jesus’ teachings of kindness, love and tolerance using inspiring parables from the Gospel of Matthew.

Packed with energetic games and storytelling techniques, the 13-strong cast will sing and dance their way through Jesus’ life, up until his moving crucifixion.

SMTC chairman, Phil Ingle, said: “We feel privileged to produce this show this Easter in an exciting new venue, and with such a talented cast of existing and new members. This production will capture the original spirit of this important musical and, we hope, capture your hearts too.”

Directed by Alan Gill and choreographed by Julie Bedlow-Howard with musical direction from Gary Lewis, Godspell will be performed from Tuesday, 29 March, to Saturday, 2nd April, at 7.30pm, with a matinee performance on 2nd April at 2.30pm.
