The Mysteries: Creation

The mystery plays of the late middle ages are wonderful stories of families at work and play in relationship to God. Juxtaposing scenes of pious belief with events from ordinary life gives audiences a new perspective on the myths in Genesis. Noah and other Biblical personalities are endowed with humor as well as an earthy but not irreverent reality. This adaptation preserves the verse of the original plays in all its poetic beauty with language that remains accessible to modern audiences. The result is a joyous, humane and reverent drama for all ages.
