The Pilgrim’s Progress

About the show

In Bedford Gaol, John Bunyan reads from his book as Pilgrim appears in a vision. Pilgrim sets out for the Celestial City, loses his burden at the Cross, and is welcomed at the House Beautiful. He receives armor, defeats Apollyon in the Valley of Humiliation, resists the temptations of Vanity Fair, and escapes imprisonment with the Key of Promise. After declining to travel with the comfort-seeking By-Ends, Pilgrim visits the Shepherds of the Delectable Mountains. A Celestial Messenger directs him across the River of Death to the Celestial City. The epilogue returns to Bunyan in prison.
