Wireless Mysteries Old Testament - Paperback

by Michael Yates (Author)

With the Medieval Mystery Plays, religious drama left the churches and took to the streets, involving whole communities. But when playwright Michael Yates decided to write a modern version, he knew he could never compete with CGI - no massive crowds, no huge cast. So he wrote an audio version for a small group of actors to play many parts. And here it is. The material is presented as a parody of radio: the studio debate, the phone-in, the daily soap opera and the fireside chat - with God doing the chatting. The language is modern prose with a hint of a Yorkshire accent - but then we all knew God was a Yorkshireman, didn't we?
