Play/Event Notes
The Messiah by Patrick Barlow.
Two actors and an opera singer masterfully, movingly, and miraculously enact the greatest story ever told (with some minor alterations along the way). Three performers play a cast of thousands in an absurd Christmas comedy that melds the ridiculous and the truly angelic.
“Brings a lovely sense of anarchy to the Nativity story – joyous seasonal entertainment.” – London Theatre
Featuring John Voth, Peter Carlone, and Karen Ydenberg.
Directed by Ian Farthing. Set Design and Costume Design by Cecilia Vadala. Lighting Design by Chengyan Boon. Properties by Monica Emme. Sound Design by Shona Struthers. Stage Management by Victoria Snashall.
