This year's production will present a selection of scenes from texts originating in different parts of the country, and includes some episodes we have not performed in recent years. It opens with the creation of heaven and earth and the fall of the rebel angels from the Towneley cycle, followed by the Norwich play of the temptation and fall of Adam and Eve, beguiled by the smooth-tongued, demonic serpent. From the Coventry plays we have drawn most of the following Nativity sequence, culminating in the poignant episode of massacre of the innocent children by the enraged King Herod, frustrated in his plan to seek out and kill the infant Jesus, and foiled again by the escape of the Holy Family into Egypt.

The auditions will be held at the St. Saviour Chalk Farm, Eton Road, London NW3 4SU. A map is available on our home page.

The auditions will be held on:
Thursday 20th August - 7pm
Monday 24th August - 7pm
