The Luke Drama

On Saturday 12 April 2025 the story of Jesus according to Luke’s Gospel will be presented in a way that will cause every member of the audience to give thought to what they really believe about Jesus.

This FREE event is perfect for sharing with family, friends, and colleagues.

The Luke Drama is the action-packed and immersive story of Jesus.

In his ‘orderly account’ to his friend Theophilus, Dr Luke gives us many details of the life of Jesus not recorded in the other three Gospels. Only Luke introduces us to Zechariah and Elizabeth, the parents of John the Baptist; only Luke tells us of the visitation of Gabriel to Mary in Nazareth; only Luke tells us of Mary’s visit to Elizabeth, and of Mary’s glorious song of praise; of the birth of John the Baptist and Zechariah’s prophesy; of the army of angels who descended in the fields near Bethlehem to announce the Messiah’s birth; of Jesus’ circumcision and dedication at the temple; of Simeon and Anna; of the events surrounding Jesus’ Bar Mitzvah at the age of twelve; and many other historical touches. The Gospel of Luke also includes many teachings of Jesus and parables not recorded by other Gospel writers.

The Luke Drama is the story of Jesus told by Luke, acted out over 90 minutes by a cast of 15 ordinary Christians. It is performed as ‘theatre in the round’, with the stage in the middle and the audience in concentric circles around the stage.
