The Players of St Peter at Holy Trinity
Holy Trinity Church, Sloane Street, London, SW1
50th Anniversary Production
Selected Scenes from the Medieval Mystery Cycles
December 1996
The Scenes
This year the scenes used to create the whole production have been taken from a number of medieval Play Cycles and existing fragments. Listed below are the towns and cities these came from and the civic craft guilds which originally performed them five or more centuries ago. The 'N-town' plays, probably from Lincoln, were not written for performance by the guilds (or mysteries).
