Overview

You dont have to believe it. I always took the Matthew Passion with a pinch of salt.Ramsden, Yorkshire, 1916. The ambitious local Choral Society is depleted as men volunteer for the front and plans for their St Matthew Passion by German composer J. S. Bach are scuppered by patriotic fervour. Dr Guthrie, the mysterious, exacting new Chorus Master, finds a replacement in Elgars Dream of Gerontius and swells the choirs numbers with teenage boys and girls. Together they discover the urgency of desire and the joy of singing as the new boys come to terms with their imminent conscription, and friendships and summer trysts are suffused with a melancholy sense of all that might soon be lost.The screenplay will be published alongside the films UK release (on 7 November 2025), and includes a preface by the author and an introduction from Nicholas Hytner.
