“Last Easter is “about theatre itself: the love, the resourcefulness, the crying, the drama, the creativity, the laughter, the dancing, the singing, the affection. All of it.”

“Bryony Lavery’s script finds the joy of living, and feels as pertinent as ever.”
Theatre Weekly
A lighting designer, an actress, a prop maker and a drag singer go on a pilgrimage looking for a miracle.
Even when June, the lighting designer, is diagnosed with a devastating illness, the jokes don’t stop coming as a quartet of theatre friends career across France. They glug red wine and hope to find a miracle at Lourdes for June, a non-believer who thinks the only good thing about religion is the lighting.
They’ll soon discover that miracles come in many different forms.
Last Easter is a funny, moving and provocative play about the true nature of friendship.
