Help LAMPS take our work to the Edinburgh Fringe for the first time!

by The LAMPS Collective in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, An Rìoghachd Aonaichte

Thank you for your interest

We are so excited to be bringing our work to EdFringe 2025, the first Fringe festival for us as a company! We hope our shows will be a blessing to everyone who sees them, and provoke thought and discussion for a long time after August.

 

Why are we Crowdfunding?

We are already overwhelmed at the generosity of Edinburgh locals, particularly our venue - Palmerston Place Church - in helping us get to the Fringe. Nevertheless, there are still costs we would like to cover, like accommodation, travel, and publicity. Your donation will help LAMPS cover these. If we cover these expenses, any additional funds will help us honour the time and skills of our professional cast and crew.

 

The Passion

1748884329_1.pngThe life, death and resurrection of Jesus are recreated in this moving, memorable and ultimately joyful retelling of the Easter story. Told from the perspectives of Peter, Mary Magdalene and a Roman centurion named Marcus, this powerful contemporary drama leads us up to and through the events of Holy Week, to the cross and beyond.

 ‘A life-changing experience for me and my understanding of the scriptures… Like many others no doubt I shed a tear or two.’ - St James the Great, Radley

“Brilliant conception, direction, music and performance!”

“The story of The Passion as I’d never seen it before. Impacting and memorable”

- Filling Station, Cholsey

 

Salt and Light

Lake Galilee, AD 31748884486_2.png0, and in the little fishing community of Capernaum, rumours of miracles and healings abound. Five members of one family struggle to make sense of the radical new teacher walking their shores. Who is this man? What is he? And what might it mean for them and their lives?Join us around the campfire for shanties, stories and spoken word – the tales of the first disciples.

“Beautiful collection of stories – each one leading into the next in a way that was seamless and meaningful – OUTSTANDING!” Audience member, Spring Harvest
