The 2015 Play Gallery is almost complete, with photos from the four Plays and some behind-the-scenes ones too.
We are short of coverage from the Maundy Thursday play, particularly of Gethsemane and the Trial. If you have pictures which might be added to the Gallery, please email pp2015@informationspan.com.
However ... this is an update, and not one I expected. There appears to be a problem when viewing the Gallery with some browsers. It may display Act 1 when you try to get to Act 2. I'll test a workround in the next day or two, but in the meantime if you see this problem then try a different browser!

Some changes to the website
The Play has happened, in case you didn't notice! So we've made some minor changes to the website, including suspending the Rehearsals online calendar. Future Play events will still be recorded in the Play Events calendar, visible online but lookiung a bit empty right now while everyone draws breath!
See the Good Friday gallery: more available from Roz Bassford South
The Good Friday section of this year's Picture Gallery is now available. Click the link to the Gallery.
Many of these pictures (and more to come, from Easter Sunday in particular) are from Roz Bassford South. Roz has an extensive collection of pictures from all the Play performances and these can be seen on her own Gallery at http://rozsouth.zenfolio.com/lewespassion15. Visitors are welcome, and Roz has also asked us to let everyone know that she will be very happy to let anyone have a DVD of all the images on request - and at no charge.
If you would like to take advantage of this very generous offer, please email rozsouth@gmail.com or phone 01323 811465 or mobile 07753 141702. See more of Roz's work at View South Photography.
Thanks, Roz.

More photos; behind the scenes
We've added a new section to the 2015 photo gallery, with some behind-the-scenes and cast photos, mainly from Act 1, and a couple of extra Act 1 pictures. More to follow, along with records of the Thursday, Friday and Easter Sunday plays; watch this space!

Easter weekend worship
Alongside the Passion Play, don't forget to check the Churches Together website for information about Good Friday and Easter worship. You may like to look for an early morning communion service, or a family service later in the morning.
Picking up the pace - three plays in four days!
Today, Maundy Thursday, we will be hard at work constructing staging in Lewes Priory Ruins ready for performance at 8pm where the last Supper and arrest of Jesus will take place, complete with blazing torches (this is Lewes after all!).
If it's totally wet and windy we will relocate to Southover Church and do two performances at 8pm and at 9.15pm to accommodate numbers - the decision will be taken early Thursday morning and we will let you know if we are relocating.
On Friday 3rd April the action moves back to Cliffe Precinct at 1pm where Jesus will be brought before Governor Pilate and King Herod. He will be handed over for crucifixion which will take place once Jesus has processed to the Mount (off Mountfield Road).
Sunday 5th April will find us back in the Priory ruins at 3pm to celebrate the discovery of the empty tomb and realisation of the resurrection of Jesus.
Do hope you will be able to come and see us.
Thank you
Eleanor and the organising team

Click the new link at the right hand side (or here) to see 2015 in pictures.
At the moment there is a gallery page for Palm Sunday; thanks to our expert photographers, from whose work I've selected just a few pictures. After Easter, the other pages will be added as time permits. Watch this space!

Prayer for Holy Week
Dear Supporter,
Thank you for all your support during the preparations for the project. We are very busy with the myriad things still to be sorted for Thursday, Friday and Sunday.
Please would you make the following your focus points this week:
* Give thanks for Palm Sunday and all the many details that have all come together and been provided - people for the cast and production team, donkeys, costumes etc - the list is long and we have much to give thanks for.
* Give thanks for the people that came to watch Palm Sunday and the inspiration they have felt through seeing the events portrayed
* Pray for health and strength for all involved, especially the performers and Directors
* Pray for wisdom for the team taking the decision over the venue for Thursday night's performance. The decision will need to be taken on Thursday morning, in view of the weather, whether to hold the evening's performance in the Priory Ruins as planned or in Southover Church.
And let's bring the weather in prayer to the Lord of the weather - that His will be done.
Thank you
