Samaritan - Arts theatre project!
An evocative and powerful contemporary comedy drama to be staged in 2026.
Updating Jesus’ famous parable, SAMARITAN is written and performed by Simon Carter. It tells the heartbreaking true story of a friend loved and lost, the austerity-ravaged systems that let him down, and the breakthrough of hope and light in the midst of grief.
It’s about what it means to love our neighbour, and why our neighbour is everyone. There’ll be passion, politics and protest, and tables will be turned.

To produce the show, we are looking for support. If you are able to help, please visit our GoFundMe at: https://www.gofundme.com/f/t5tdv7-samaritan-a-touring-community-theatre-project
Funds from this campaign will be used to get a touring production on its feet for performances in March 2026.
We're aiming to perform at a minimum of 5 community spaces across Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands. Proceeds from ticket sales and audience donations will go to specified charities and ministries, including TNT, to support their ongoing work.
