Behold the Man – The Edinburgh Easter Play

Edinburgh’s passion play, performed live in the heart of the city on Easter Saturday, a new production every year.

A diverse community cast will tell the timeless story of Easter against the spectacular backdrop of Edinburgh Castle. To mark our 20th year in Princes Street Gardens, we have something special in store. This year, the play is Behold the Man, a new version of the story created with the support of experts from Edinburgh University’s School of Theology, which explores the timely topic of masculinity. Timeless themes of suffering, redemption and forgiveness play out against one of the best natural backdrops in the world. Hear the story of one extraordinary man who continues to bring a message of hope to a troubled world.
