The Mystery Plays have a long history and can trace their origins back to the tenth century. Various groups (or cycles) of plays are especially associated with specific British towns and cities – such as York, Coventry, Chester and Wakefield, as well as Lincoln.
In Lincoln,the cycle has been performed regularly since 1969. In 1978, Keith Ramsay translated the N-Town Cycle of plays, which was adopted as the City's own, & has been performed on a four year cycle ever since..
