Adapted from the Wakefield, York and Chester Cycles of Plays by Christopher Denys
Assembled into a continuous performance, the rich, exciting and powerful plays of the Mystery Cycles offer some of the most lively, beautiful and often humorous verse in the English language at its vernacular best. Here, brought vividly to life are:
The Creation
The Expulsion from the Garden of Eden
Cain’s Murder of Abel
Noah’s Flood and the Building of the Ark
The Annunciation
The Nativity
The Life, Ministry, Crucifixion, Resurrection and Ascension of Christ.
Banned for centuries, these plays speak to the modern audiences with all the vigour, excitement and originality of contemporary drama.
