RIDING LIGHTS ROUGHSHOD THEATRE COMPANY IN

SAVING GRACE

A new play to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the birth of John Wesley
by Les Ellison
Directed by Paul Burbridge

In the blacked-out landscape of the Second World War, a journalist sets out on a private pilgrimage. In the fens of Lincolnshire he searches for John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement.

Caught in the no-man's land between Good Friday and Easter Morning, he begins to uncover a life caught between doubt and faith, between a passion for God and a passion for women, and dangerously at odds with the established church…

Riding Lights Theatre Company is celebrating the 300th anniversary of the birth of John Wesley with a six-month tour of Saving Grace. A new play by Les Ellison, Saving Grace is a dynamic mix of ensemble storytelling, music and moving theatre - a captivating picture of a man overwhelmed by his faith.

SAVING GRACE runs from 26/02/2003 to 31/08/2003
