The Easter story comes to life in Hamilton this Good Friday!

“I Am With You Always” is a new play, which journeys through Holy Week with Jesus and the disciples. It will be performed on the streets of Hamilton by Drama Kirk, bringing together members of local churches and professional actors in an expression of faith.

The opportunity to see the events of the final week of Jesus’ life portrayed through drama is an experience not to be missed – one which can shed new light on familiar stories, deepening our understanding and emotional engagement.

The play took place on Friday 15th April 2022 at 2pm in Castle Street, Hamilton, lasting one hour.

Join us next time and be part of the story, welcoming Jesus to Jerusalem!

Drama Kirk is a Fresh Expression of Church, which brings the gospel to life through drama. Seeing things portrayed and being a part of a dramatization of scripture takes us a stage beyond bible readings: our understanding is deepened and our emotional journey heightened.  The company is led by husband and wife team Ross and Liz Blackman. Ross is now a parish minister but was previously a time served joiner and so manages the technical aspects of productions. Liz is a professional actor turned minister’s wife, who produces and directs.

The majority of our wonderful community company is drawn from our local churches, with cast members ranging in age from 3 to 83. Some come with a great deal of experience of drama, others with none – all come willing to take the gospel message into the heart of their local community.  Drama Kirk is looking forward to the opportunity to work with the experienced team at Wintershall to improve the quality of what they produce and welcome learning from the experts. The same play, performed at the same time throughout the country? That will indeed be One Good Friday!
