The 2011 Canadian Badlands Passion Play is different from anything the society has previously produced. “This version of the Fourth Gospel is unique in several ways,” says Barrett Hileman, co-director of the play along with playwright Royal Sproule. “The first is story content. The Fourth Gospel shares a number of episodes in Jesus' life (e.g. Lazarus, Jesus washing the Disciples’ feet) that do not appear in the synoptic gospels. Those audience members who have seen the play in the past five years will enjoy these new additions.
