Description
Created by Mark Dornford-May and Charles Hazelwood.In June 2001, this South African company's first production, THE MYSTERIES, opened at Wilton's Music Hall in London and within a day of the first reviews appearing had sold out. Over the next twelve months, the company became an international hit, touring festivals in Australia and America, as well as a sold-out run in the West End. Rarely in the world of theatre does a company appear to such instant and universal acclaim.

These timeless Biblical stories are brought to life through exhilarating songs, dance, and heart-breaking drama. It is both passionate and uplifting. An altogether stunning piece of theatre that breathes life into some of the greatest stories told. A SPECTACULAR PIECE OF THEATRE. It puts the world on stage and squeezes tears of sorrow, joy and laughter along the way. TIME OUT. MOVING, INVENTIVE, BEAUTIFUL. YOU FEEL THAT YOU HAVE DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN. DAILY TELEGRAPH. It is impossible not to be swept away by this DRAMATIC DYNAMITE. Each story is a miracle of energy, invention and humour. EVENING STANDARD. THE MOST MAGNIFICENT AND MOVING EVENT OF THE YEAR OBSERVER.
