Storyline
Elder Price and Elder Cunningham, two young Mormon missionaries, are paired together and sent on their mission to Uganda. While Elder Price dreams of sunny Orlando, the duo instead find themselves in a rural village plagued by disease, warlords, and despair. As they attempt to spread their message, cultural clashes and personal revelations push them beyond what their training prepared them for. The Book of Mormon in London bring you a sharply funny, occasionally shocking, but ultimately thoughtful story about belief, community, and the stories we tell to make sense of our world. Will their faith survive the realities they face, or be rewritten in unexpected ways?
