The Passion follows the shape of the original narrative, but it will transpose the story from Jerusalem 2,000 years ago to 21st-century Port Talbot, and examine what happens when a charismatic teacher (Sheen) arrives in town and challenges a powerful authority figure. “It’s a sort of riff around the story of the Passion,” explains Sheen.
