This is a new work written and performed by Rich Hasnip to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Vumba Massacre where 13 Elim missionaries were killed in Rhodesia on 23rd June 1978.

“I have tried to write a broken play, a play in which language, at times, strains at the edges of my capacity to use it; a play that deploys many voices – straight narration, dialogue, poetry, dream, knowing that no single voice can do justice to the story, but a fractured telling might provoke an audience into greater engagement, into seeking their own answers in the gaps left by the telling.”

And You Shall Answer Me is a moving and powerful tribute that pays homage to those who went before and asks hard questions of those who would carry the gospel forward.
