THE MAN BORN TO BE KING
RADIO PRODUCTION
First Church Congregational of Hamilton, a small New England church north of Boston, are presenting four of the radio plays based on Dorothy L. Sayers’ epic BBC classic, The Man Born To Be King. It features a cast of professional and amateur actors drawn from the Greater Boston area. These are free presentations, at no charge to the public.
Directed by Professor of Theatre at Gordon College, Jeffrey Miller, the radio plays will be broadcast during Holy Week, March 29-April 4, 2021.
The week before Palm Sunday (beginning March 21), the renowned expert on Dorothy L. Sayer’s The Man Born to Be King, Dr. Katy Wehr, will be doing a virtual
pre-recorded presentation to teach, inform, inspire, and prepare us for the airing of the radio plays.
The following 4 plays will be aired on these dates at 7.00 PM (ET):
The King’s Supper
(Mon, March 29)
The Princes of the World
(Wed, March 31)

We hope you will gather together, as you can, with family and/or friends to listen to these special performances by our company of actors. Each play will be available through our website for encore listening after the first airing, until April 25, 2021.
