SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
In 2011 I wrote the television drama The Preston Passion for the BBC. The aim was to retell the story of Christ's Passion in a series of provoking and unexpected ways. Pilate becomes a town mayor during a mill workers' strike in nineteenth century England; Mary becomes a mother awaiting news of her son during World War I; Jesus is a young carer in contemporary Preston, a city in the north of England. Drawing on the experience of writing the drama, I aim to show how drama and mission are related enterprises, having a complex and nuanced relationship with one another and with the prevailing culture. These putative relationships find expression in shared prophetic modalities: truth-telling, challenge, and love. The article explores how these modalities are expressed in television drama and mission. I conclude by suggesting that both drama and mission also share a goal: personal and cultural transformation through bearing witness to the truth understood in a particular way.
