A largescale Community adaptation of Ben Hur. Involving a cast of 120 on the Theatre Royal Baths main stage. We worked for a year with an open access group of Baths budding thespians. Anyone could join as long as they wern’t professional. Filmed for a BBC Imagine documentary with Alan Yentob the results were truly epic. Winning much critical acclaim including being named This Is Baths play of the year.
