Book NowAbout Miller College of the Bible Drama Team
Martin Luther: Not For Sale is a historical drama presented by the Miller College of the Bible Drama Team, a student and youth company, at the Back Hall venue during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The play follows Luther as he abandons a promising career in law to dedicate his life to understanding how one can be made right with a God who seems impossible to please. He becomes a monk, follows the church's ordinances, yet finds no peace — until he reads the Bible and discovers that salvation cannot be purchased. Under constant threat of arrest and death, Luther must decide whether this truth is worth dying for. The show runs for 45 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 5 and over.
Why see this show?
A drama that brings one of history's most consequential moments of conscience to the Fringe stage, asking a universal question: is a hard truth worth the personal cost? Accessible and direct, with a story that still carries weight.
