Origins & Lemons - Click here for Poster
Riding Lights, the Christian theatre company, will be performing in Buckingham Parish Church on Wednesday 6th October at 7.30pm as part of their national tour and to help raise funds for our Roof Appeal. The play is called 'Origins & Lemons' and is based upon Genesis chapters 1-11.Have you ever wondered about the 'why' of the world? Confused by all the arguments?
The show attempts to draw together rather than antagonise people of differing persuasions (or of differing approaches to questions which no-one can answer conclusively!) in an atmosphere of warmth, humour and humility..proposing questions, allaying fears, and above all celebrating the rich and insightful stories which are the heart of Genesis chapters 1-11. This play is suitable for people of any other or no faith at all.
In considerably less than six days, Riding Lights explores the truth and the conjecture, the Bible and the questions. With honesty, awe, imagination and laughter, this is a highly entertaining plunge into issues which have aroused our curiosity since the dawn of time. Suitable for audiences of all ages, and although younger children may enjoy it, Riding Lights suggests that it will appeal most to those aged 11 or over.
Tickets cost £11, concessions £8 and group bookings of ten £7 each and are available via any of the methods below:
