The Pilgrim's Progress

A new stage version of Bunyan's 17th-century classic of the Puritan imagination. The Pilgrim's Progress tells the tale of Christian, who dreams a journey from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City, Zion. His many adventures along the way take him to such legendary places as the peaceful Palace Beautiful; the existential Doubting Castle and the gorgeous Delectable Mountains. Herein we meet some famous and memorable characters. James Martin Charlton's adaptation brings the full scope of Bunyan's epic vision to the stage for the first time; and, by utilising elements from Bunyan's sequel, gently challenges the self-righteousness of Christian's mind-set, as well as inspiring us anew with the book's vision of staying true to one's spiritual beliefs within a corrupt and tyrannous world.
