This powerful play by the Tony Award winning adaptor of Nicholas Nickleby and author of numerous plays won the Evening Standard Award for Best Play of 1995.

A fresco that could revolutionize Western Art is unearthed in an abandoned church in Eastern Europe. The discovery causes a dramatic struggle as representatives from the worlds of art history, religion, and politics stake their claims for the ultimate prize. The unexpected arrival of twelve refugees sets events spiraling toward an explosive climax.

Presented by special arrangement with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Pentecost was first presented by the Royal Shakespeare Company at The-Other-Place, Stratford-Upon-Avon, directed by Michael Attenborough on 12th October, 1994.
