Ripon Cathedral will host the Ripon Theatre Festival’s opening night on 1st July with a live performance of The Beloved Son.
The Beloved Son tells the gripping journey of Henri Nouwen. In a moving solo performance by Andrew Harrison, the play explores hope and longing, family dynamics, sexual and emotional crisis, and the profound insights of a man who became one of the greatest spiritual writers of the 20th century.
Henri Nouwen (1932 – 1996) was a Dutch, Catholic priest, psychologist, and professor who reached the heights of academic success before abandoning everything to join the community of L’Arche, in Toronto. He became part of a life-sharing movement, seeking to make known the gifts of people with intellectual disabilities, exploring their unique talents and creating a welcoming home of friendship and belonging.
Tickets cost £14pp and can be ordered here: https://riponcathedral.org.uk/events/the-beloved-son/
