• Breakfast, Dinner

It's performance day, and time to head to Oberammergau's modern theatre to witness a unique re-telling of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. A production enormous in scale, the play is a source of great pride for the villagers, the majority of whom are either part of the cast or crew. From live animals to a dazzling array of props, costumes and backdrops, the play is the oldest of its kind in the world and enjoys a fearsome reputation. First staged in 1634 as a plea to God to save them from the plague, the town vowed to repeat their performance every 10 years thereafter to give thanks for their salvation. Growing ever more ambitions each decade, Oberammergau's Passion Play is now the longest running religious play in the world and is split into two dramatic halves of three hours, with a break halfway through for you to sample a special Passion Play dinner.
