Night Falls
Riding Lights Theatre Company
Saturday 21st March 2026, 7:30 PM — Ash Village Hall
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…
Brought to you by Riding Lights Theatre Company, Night Falls is a fresh, vivid and dynamic retelling of the Easter story — a powerful new drama, featuring an original score from Nikki Crowley.
As one of the UK’s most established independent theatre companies (founded in 1977), Riding Lights Theatre Company continues to take innovative, accessible theatre into all kinds of communities far and wide.
