The York Mystery Plays are a magnificent example of medieval drama.
Using the colourful language of medieval Yorkshire, they present the 'history of the world': from the mystery of God's creation of the world to the birth, death, and resurrection of Christ.
They were performed from the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, as part of the annual celebrations of the feast of Corpus Christi, and have now been revived - to much acclaim - in twentieth-century York .
This Web site contains a wealth of information on the plays and their history and has been divided into the following sections...
