Without going overboard - this DVD is stunning a from the stalls filming of The South African Company’s production of the Chester Mystery Plays telling stories from the Bible using a mixture of song and dance and pure dramatic theatre. First seen in 2001 to rave reviews not just in the UK but Australia and America , this DVD is taken from it’s long west end run.

The Chester Mystery Plays were first seen in Medieval times and cover numerous bible stories from Adam and Eve upto the execution of Jesus Christ and this version of it is very clever and very moving The Mysteries is wonderful stuff with an inventive cast (who all play more than one role), everyone should really find time to watch this production.
