In the early seventeenth century, as plague raced across Europe, the people of this small town in Baveria made a deal with God: spare us and we'll perform a Passion play every ten years. All of us. The whole town.

True to their word, they've done this every decade since. The first performance was in 1634, and ever since it's been at the turn of the decade. It's a startling event, because everyone in the town really is involved. All the actors, the musicians, the technical staff, the director, the costumiers, the carpenters, the singers, the stagehands, the press agents, the bartenders, the ushers - are local people. In normal life they are the hairdresser, postman, dentist, notary, teacher, plumber, bus driver etc..
