Director: Richard Brown Venue: In the Parlour
Long before Jesus Christ Superstar, there were the medieval mystery plays: a mixture of religious stories and street theatre, folk-rock and pantomim, providing a foot-tapping, sometimes irreverent, often outrageous but generally touching retelling of stories from the Bible.
A selection from the Medieval Mystery Plays as adapted for The National Theatre by Tony Harrison.
