Current Projects
Jerusalem Productions provides co-production funding for radio programmes that are intended for broadcast on mainstream national stations. It focusses on those programmes which are broadcast outside designated religious slots and which appeal to an audience which does not necessarily have an active Christian commitment.
Jerusalem Productions’ recent radio projects include:
The Christmas Mysteries
Broadcast on Classic FM on Christmas Day 2011, The Christmas Mysteries is a play
based on The Wakefield Mysteries – the medieval pageants performed in the late
Middle Ages. It tells the nativity story from the points of view of a rowdy
rabble of smelly tanners, a saucy knave, a pious Abbot and a God-Fearing former
monk, interspersed with English classical music. The Christmas Mysteries was
written by David Spicer and co-produced by Unique the Production Company.
On Angel Wings
This adaptation of Michael Morpurgo’s beautiful nativity story, On Angel Wings, was broadcast on Christmas Day 2010 on Classic FM. Produced with Unique the Production Company and adapted by David Spicer, the programme was narrated by Michael Morpurgo and featured Imogen Stubbs and Jack Shepherd. It tells the story of a young shepherd boy who is left behind to guard the sheep after the Angel Gabriel’s visit. He bemoans the injustice of being left behind, Gabriel takes pity of him, and he becomes Christ’s first visitor.
