Tony Harrison - The Mysteries Part 2 posted on 30 November 2011

The Mystery Plays are amongst the earliest theatrical texts of Western Europe. First performed to great acclaim at the National Theatre between 1977 and 1985, this modern version by poet Tony Harrison adapts the texts to retell the Bible story through poetry, dance and song. Presented over two performances, The Nativity and The Passion range from the creation of the world to the death of Christ.
