THE ABINGDON PASSION PLAY
The Abingdon Passion Play was set up to provide the town of Abingdon on Thames and surrounding communities with dramatic representations of an aspect of the life of Christ. Planning and staging a Community Passion Play roughly once every 3 years, the charity carries out fund raising in the build up to the event in order to cover the costs associated with staging it.
