Experience the story of Easter by returning to our radio versions of the York Mystery Plays from 2021.
While York Theatre Royal was closed in 2021, actors and creatives worked behind the scenes to record two further instalments of the York Radio Mystery Plays – ‘The Crucifixion’ and ‘The Resurrection’ – in collaboration with BBC Radio York. These were broadcast on Good Friday and Easter Sunday that year, and are still available on BBC Sounds.
The Plays were adapted by Juliet Forster, Creative Director of York Theatre Royal, and Kelvin Goodspeed from excepts from the York Mystery Plays which date back to the 1300s. They were performed by a mix of community and professional actors.
