Passion Play

Religion, politics and theater collide in a wildly ambitious triptych that follows three acting troupes as they stage a classical passion play at three different moments in history: Elizabethan England, Nazi Germany and Reagan-Era America. Bart DeLorenzo directs the Los Angeles premiere of Sarah Ruhl’s funny and lively excursion through centuries of religious pomp and pageantry, kicking off the Odyssey Theatre Ensemble’s 45th Anniversary Season.
