WCCYM presents...

The Long Sleep - a brand new production that takes a film noir look at the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.

To visit the main Long Sleep page go to www.wccym.org/longsleep/

Chicago private eye Magnus S Deus is struggling:

¨ Struggling to make an honest living in a city where everyone else is in thrall to de Ville and his mob.

¨ Struggling to get over the death of his partner Harry. Struggling to impress his new client, Mary Magdalene.

¨ Struggling to silence his pesky voiceover, audible to everyone else, that keeps butting in with home truths at the most inconvenient times.

¨ Struggling with his convictions, or lack of them, and the terrifying implications of putting his trust in Joshua - a new arrival in town who has dared to challenge the powers that be and is consequently on his way to the electric chair... Tomorrow!

Written by Ed Cooke, produced by Matt Watts and directed by Kevin Browning and Charlotte Gould.

We want as many people from WCCYM and local churches to get involved in helping to make this prodution really professional. So we're calling all techies, costume designers, prompters, singers, musicians and actors to join in.
