The Rope and The Cross
Title
The Rope and The Cross
Description
"My son, my son: The mother of Judas (Leonie Forbes) cradles her dead son (Gary Harvey) in one of the most dramatic scenes in Easton Lee's arresting, biblical spectacular, "The Rope and The Cross". The colourful dynamic little play has enjoyed full houses and standing ovations across the country since it first played at Siloah's St. Barnabas Anglican Church, on Easter Sunday. Spurred by the tremendous audience appreciation as well as their own belief in the strength of the work, the top bracket actors in the "The Rope and The Cross" have continued to outdo themselves in performance. Sunday, May 27, is the last opportunity for people to see the production at SS Peter and Paul in Kingston. Curtain time is 3:30pm."
