The Christians, Gate Theatre

08 Sep 15 – 03 Oct 15, 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM

On of the biggest hits of the Edinburgh Fringe, The Christians, comes to Notting Hill's Gate Theatre.

After making a stir at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, The Christians' London transfer is selling fast. Playwright Lucas Hnath's new show is a thought-provoking and meaty exploration of the issues surrounding organised religion.
Telling the story of the tensions and cracks within a religious community after the main Pastor (William Gaminara) has an epiphany, it extends beyond its evangelical subject matter to explore the nature of leadership and faith.
Unlike the sardonic satire of organised religion in The Book of Mormon, The Christians is slow and subtle without an ounce of mockery. It isn't edge-of-your-seat drama, but this fringe hit makes contentious issues into an engrossing, intelligent narrative.

  • What the critics say

    THE INDEPENDENT

    "religious searching forms the nub of Lucas Hnath’s stately, sly play... throws up thorny issues that plague the faithful."

    Holly Williams 

    THE GUARDIAN

    "a finely acted 80 minutes – William Gaminara suggesting both the charisma and the arrogance of Paul – and one where the arguments play out intelligently if wordily"

    Lyn Gardner

    ABOUT THE GATE THEATRE

    The Gate is a pub-theatre just around the corner from Notting Hill Gate underground station. But though its studio space is small, it's one of the best Fringe theatres in London, with a reputation for international writing and a programme that's far more diverse than most Fringe theatres.

    Its intimate space regularly attracts up-and coming talents alongside industry big-hitters and has been the focus of much critical acclaim over the years.

  • Mazi

    Mazi serves an authentic, yet refined Greek menu a stone's throw from Notting Hill Gate. Don't expect to see pitta and humous -- which are Cypriot -- here! Instead order one of Mazi's particularly inventive cold jars, such as its delicious feta spread, which are accompanied by slivers of homemade bread.
