"A stirring story provided by a splendid company"
Review from Derby Evening Telegraph
Derby Cathedral provided a suitably grand setting for this collaborative production of André Obey's retelling of the biblical tale of 'Noah'.
Staged as part of Derby Cathedral's 75th anniversary celebrations the production used the striking Bakewell Screen to form the entrance to Noah's ark and the show featured impressive musical accompaniment from the Cathedral's magnificent pipe organ - as well as a full cast of animals!
