"It is Well with My Soul" is one of the most beloved hymns of all time, with words by Horatio Spafford and music by Philip Bliss. This new musical tells the story of Philip and his wife, Lucy, how at the end of the American Civil War, they end up moving to the growing metropolis of Chicago, Illinois, to make a new life for themselves. It is there they meet lawyer Horatio Spafford and his wife Anna, producer and publisher George Root, and preacher and philanthropist D L Moody. As Philip begins to gain prominence as a soloist and hymn-writer, temptation begins to creep in: how will Philip handle the temptations that come with his new life? And how will the Blisses handle the tragic circumstances of the Great Chicago Fire and the loss of the Spafford girls in the sinking of the Ville du Havre?

Join us at St John’s (Walton Back Lane, Chesterfield, S42 7HE, where there is plenty of parking) on Saturday 29th March starting 7pm for this theatrical production that traverses through pain, loss, and the indomitable strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity. An exploration of hope against all odds, this new musical invites you to reflect, empathise, and find a common thread through the tapestry of time.
