University of Oxford Student Season: Trinity Term 2026

From the York Mystery Cycle

A contemporary, experimental rewriting inspired by medieval mystery cycles.

Adam and Eve have awaited the coming of Christ for over four thousand years. After his crucifixion, Christ descends into Hell to free the righteous. He whom Satan thought he had defeated comes to shatter the gates of Hell.

A bold new production featuring an original text and newly composed music, offering a reimagining of biblical figures and new perspectives on their embodied presence.
