Inspired by the medieval mystery plays, this epic play by

it presents a dramatic vision of Christ as the friend of the
outcast. The Southwark Mysteries has been performed in full
only once before, to a capacity audience in Shakespeare's
Globe and Southwark Cathedral ten years ago. A decade on,
the April 2010 production features professional actors
working with an adult community cast and three local
schools. There will also be celebrity cameo appearances. Be
part of The Southwark Mysteries community cast � or help
with costumes or crewing. To be in the cast, you have to be
at one or both of this week's workshops. To book your place
email: [email protected] All cast will
rehearse one (or two) evenings per week for 7 weeks leading
up to the shows. Priority will be given to people who live,
work, study, or have a particular interest in Southwark, AND
can commit to the 7 weeks.
