York Mystery Plays 2018: Waggons in the City

The York Mystery Plays display an intriguing balance between the religious and the secular. Records indicate the medieval plays were performed on pageant wagons wheeled through the city streets, and the city guilds were highly involved in their production and performance. Faithful to tradition, in September 2018, York will again receive the itinerant Plays performed on Waggons. This course will offer an introduction to the history of the York Plays from their medieval origins to their most recent performance in the City.
