The cancellation of all the Passion Plays has been one of the great disappointments of 2020. Guidance from SLUA Event Safety Consultation suggests that open theatres/performances where social distancing can be maintained will be the first to re-open towards the end of the year.
The Passion Trust is organising seminars on Zoom in October to discuss all aspects of putting on Passion Plays in 2021 in the light of the challenges and responsibilities emerging from Covid19 and lockdown.
