Chester Mystery Plays-Noah's Flood
A 30 minute musical version of Noah's Flood from the Chester Mystery Plays. Last performed in 2008. The 1997 performance was performed by 200 people. Taking place in the newly refurbished amphitheatre it was a fitting, if not a little dusty, place for the production to take place. The Mystery plays are a melting pot of religion and everyday life. Originating in the Middle Ages they were street plays full of humour.
With performances over three days these photographs are of the final performance on Sunday 20th June. A different 30 minute performance is planned for next year.
The next full cycle of Chester Mystery Plays is scheduled for 2013.
