"Riding Lights works miracles... outstanding theatre"

The Stage

Four final days before an execution that will change everything.

Three enemies that want to put an end to the so-called Messiah.

Two strangers torn between faith and doubt, hope and grief, trying to prevent Jesus of Nazareth from getting himself arrested. 

One safe house in Bethany. 

The hours are running out, but even as night falls, a strange hope is wrapped in a secret that both strangers share. For this is the house of Lazarus, and under his roof, the impossible has already occurred…

Night Falls is a fresh, vivid and dynamic retelling of the Easter story, blending music and powerful drama.

‘"...vivid and contemporary, with moments of high drama..." - Church Times
