Kolbe's Gift: gripping drama at north London church
The story of one man's ultimate sacrifice, his life for a stranger's, is to take to the boards at a North London church for one night only.
TenTen Productions, a unique theatre company
formed to create high quality drama promoting personal and social
responsibility tackles the subject of Saint Maximilian Kolbe,
a Polish Priest who volunteered to die of starvation in a Nazi
deathcamp, in place of a man he didn't know.
Kolbe's Gift, written by veteran British actor and playwright
(Davros, Creator of the Daleks to our younger readers), is a hard-hitting
play exploring the events leading up to the priest's supreme sacrifice,
a sacrifice which earned him canonization and a name as 'the patron
saint of our difficult century' from Pope John Paul II.
The play, which has received rave reviews all over the UK will
be performing for one night only at Our Lady Help of Christians
Church, in London's Kentish Town, on Wednesday, October 3. Tickets
are £5 and are available by contacting Our Lady Help of
Christians or ICN's Mary Carson on mccl02040@blueyonder.co.uk
