This is an idea that we used last year on the run up to Easter, inspired by a gift given to my daughter, of a (dare I say 'charm') bracelet depicting elements of the 23 Psalm. We decided to adapt this and created a bracelet that would help us reflect...

These three Easter scripts are designed to be performed on Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday, but each could stand alone if necessary. They depict the Easter story through the eyes of Ellie, an ambitious young TV reporter and Graham, a weathered and experienced TV cameraman.
Notes on direction:
