A once-in-a-decade performance
of The Passion Play comes to life in
this richly illustrated book. Every decade a small village in Germany continues a
tradition that dates back four centuries to the time of the
Plague. 2,000 villagers, nearly one-half the town s
population, stage a retelling of the life of Christ. Each
production draws millions of visitors to the town of
Oberammergau to experience the performance. This official
companion volume to the world-renowned event captures
the drama, the color, and the spirit of community that makes
this historic production an unforgettable experience. Anyone
lucky enough to attend a performance will treasure this
memento while armchair travelers to Oberammergau will
feel the excitement and dramatic tension of this oldest of
stories made eternally new.
