Description

Set in Paris during the Olympic Games of 1924, we see the struggles Eric Liddell faces around him in staying true to his principles. When given the chance to become the fastest man in the world, will his convictions buckle? And can he bring home a medal for King and country? 'Searchlight elevate this from mere biography to an exploration of determination, ambition and faith' **** (ThreeWeeks). 'Engaging at all times thanks to the quality of the staging, strong actors, and the improbable but true story' **** (BroadwayBaby.com).

I knew a little about Eric Liddell and now I know more. He was a man of faith, who loved to run fast and to win, but loved God more. He choose to put God first. What a story, told brilliantly by the Searchlight Theatre Company. A very moving performance. Last chance to see it this year is tomorrow- Saturday 17th August.
