Synopsis
An action-driven adaptation of one of the most popular
books in history.
About the Adaptation
The Pilgrim's Progress was published in 1678 and has not been out of print since. It has been translated into 200 languages and has sold 250 million copies making it the 7th most popular book of all time, and the second most published book in history after the Bible.
Our play features a minimalist set of four ladders and four actors who will morph seamlessly between 70 different characters. Very similar to the style of play that would have been popular at the time John Bunyan first wrote his epic allegory. It features sword fights, songs, laughs, and tears. It is an incredible feat of acting, and an exciting, intimate, and immersive experience for audiences of all ages to enjoy.
