Passion Play Pilgrim's Review

My huband and I were privileged to attend the Passion Play in Oberammergau last month. I saw this book at the shop across from the theater before the performance, but I did not purchase it because I thought it would be too heavy to carry in my suitcase on the rest of our European tour. After seeing the live Passion Play, I went back to the shop to purchase this book because it really captured both the history and performance of the "2000 Passionspiele." The only thing I regret is that they did not include a CD of the music that accompanied this incredible drama.

Spectacular Photography of a truly extraordinary play

If you do not have a chance to go to Germany this summer and see the passion play, this book is your one chance at a glimpse of a great tradition. This wonderful work, put on every ten years for the past 400, is the product of a small village in Germany where the locals play the parts of Christ's passion. The phtography captures as best as is possible the beauty and craftmanship of the production. "Passion" easily refers here to both the trails of Christ's earthly journey as well as the effort and style of the performers' work. The book is a very well done look at a play which is simply inspiring as good art really is.
