Drama Kirk presents -

Gospel in a Day

Join Drama Kirk as they mark their tenth birthday!

'Gospel in a Day' will celebrate the gospel in Drama Kirk-style, staging the scriptures. Focusing on the gospel of Luke, we will start at the beginning and work through scene by scene, until we complete the gospel and continue to Pentecost, the birth of the church. 

Each scene will be presented in a different style, including drama, comedy and music. We'll draw on a variety of scripts we've used over the last decade, including the five different passion plays we've presented, dramatised walks, Bob Hartman's Rhyming Bible and an array of sketches. We'll also introduce new material, with many scenes specially written for the occasion. Never thought you'd see DCI Taggart in the Gospels? Think again!

Audience are welcome to come and go as they please, with refreshments available throughout the day.

Saturday 14^th November from 10am onwards, Hamilton Old Parish Church.

Join us, and see even more of the Gospel come to life!
