Original drama is set to be performed at Burnham-On-Sea’s Princess Theatre this Friday (13th October).
‘The Good Shepherd’ is a new play by local writer Ros Carne which sets out the struggles of female priest Ellie who falls in love and tries to keep her relationship secret.
Set on the Somerset levels, the play is the story of a woman torn between her passion and her ministry and raises questions about the role of the Church in contemporary life.
The show, to be performed by The Princess Theatre Company, begins at 7.30pm.
A spokesman explained: “When parish priest Ellie falls in love she cannot anticipate the consequences. Uncertain as to whether her parishioners would support her, Ellie chooses to keep her relationship secret.”
“As the relationship is revealed, loyalties are torn and friendships broken. The Good Shepherd explores family, love and betrayal. It’s the story of a woman torn between her passion and her ministry.
Tickets are priced at standard £6 and concessions £4. For tickets, contact the Princess Box Office on 01278 784464.
