In Another Place, the producers of February's sell out Narnia Experience are bringing their latest large scale production to Liverpool Anglican Cathedral next week.
The Greatest Story Ever Told is an imaginative look at the bible for the Facebook generation. Told through the perspective of four teenagers sharing ideas for a homework project it gives the Bible story a fresh, modern twist.
The teenage leads are seen in filmed segments discussing their project before different parts of the story come alive in front of the audience's eyes.
The 90min production will make full use of its magnificent setting with features like the Dulveton Bridge being worked into the impressive staging.
Administrator Joe Magill pointed out: "It's a complete summary of the Bible, although obviously not every single story. It's not chronological; it works like a jigsaw.
"It's told through the experience of four teenagers whose homework task is discovering the Bible. All the scenes are acted out live backed up with videos on a big screen with lighting and sound effects."
Artistic Director Annie Spiers said: "This has been a totally different event to produce after our Narnia.
"This time we have been involved in far more challenging technical work like filming in silhouette, creating animations and Facebook style narrative.
"As ever we have also involved many people from across the community and churches including 15 different choirs and around 100 people in prop making."
The Greatest Story ever Told was written in part by the teenage leads themselves - Sam D'Auvin, one of the quartet, said: "This production is like taking the Bible out of the book and showing it to people from a modern perspective using computers and 21st century things that you would not normally relate to the Bible."
As with February's Narnia Experience, the Greatest Story Ever Told is for school children in the daytimes - though this time aimed at secondary schools years 7,8,9.
Schools can book for 10am or 1pm and even stay on for a workshop for the other half of the day related to various themes of the production.
