RIDING LIGHTS THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS
EXTRAORDINARY STORY, EXTRAORDINARY THEATRE
For Lent 2026, Riding Lights Theatre Company will be touring Night Falls, a new passion play by Paul Birch.
Riding Lights is one of the UK’s most long-standing and successful independent theatre companies, with a tradition of touring plays that bring a profound and revitalising experience of Christ’s passion to churches, cathedrals and communities across the UK.
"RIDING LIGHTS WORKS MIRACLES"
THE STAGE
Four final days before an execution that will change everything.
Three enemies that want to put an end to the so-called Messiah.
Two strangers torn between faith and doubt, hope and grief, trying to prevent Jesus of Nazareth from getting himself arrested.
One safe house in Bethany.
The hours are running out, but even as night falls, a strange hope is wrapped in a secret that both strangers share. For this is the house of Lazarus, and under his roof, the impossible has already occurred…
Night Falls is a fresh, vivid and dynamic retelling of the Easter story, blending music and powerful drama alongside space for reflection and worship.
We are currently taking bookings from churches and cathedrals for performances between
18th February - 5th April 2026.
We have two booking options for the production:
1. BOOKING FEE & BOX OFFICE
A booking fee of £350 to confirm the booking. The income from the first 50 tickets sold goes directly to Riding Lights. Subsequent ticket income (beyond 50) is split between Riding Lights (60%) and the booking venue (40%).
Ticket prices: £15 full price; £10 concession.
2. BUY OUT
For a flat fee of £1500+vat, you can buy the performance to present in your church. This allows you to decide whether to provide the performance free for your community, accept donations from those attending, or set your own ticket prices and keep all of the ticket sales. If you chose to charge the recommended ticket price of £15/£10 you will when break even around 125 sales. Further sales will take you into profit.
We would love to bring this vivid retelling of the Easter story to your church community. Our passion plays are always popular and book quickly, so do get in touch.
To book, please call the office on 01904 655317, and reference Night Falls, or email us on touring@rltc.org with the subject line Night Falls.
