A sacred story, a secular reckoning 

Stratford Festival

The King James Bible Play

By Charlotte Corbeil-Coleman

A gripping and humorous portrait of the men behind the monumental translation of the King James Bible and a group of modern women creating a play about that process, this world première is a fascinating interrogation of translation in all its forms. 

Production History

The King James Bible Play is commissioned by the Stratford Festival and is scheduled to have its world premier in August 2026.
