“This is the story of the revival of York Mystery Plays from the Festival of Britain in 1951 to the present day told by the many individuals who have been involved with the Plays – whether as actors, stage hands or front of house – through their personal memories, photographs and press cuttings.”
—York Mystery Plays — Illumination: From Shadow into LightNational Centre for Early Music)
A wonderful site that focuses on the music that accompanied these wonderful devotional and instructive plays from the Medieval town of York, England. (See my own York Corpus Christi Simulator.) Thanks for the suggestion, Heidi Johnson of the National Centre for Early Music, in York, England.
