Since next week is Holy Saturday I thought it would be good to do an appropriately topical readthrough, and I think trying to get a singthrough of Jesus Christ Superstar working over video conferencing would be pretty much doomed to failure, so instead I'm going to suggest that we do Tony Harrison's version of The Passion, based mostly on the York Mystery Plays. The script is available from Amazon or Kobo for about nine quid, but if you're keen to join in and the cost is prohibitive let me know and I'll buy you a copy.
