EVERYMAN, Three Medieval Morality Plays, Adapted by Gavin Bantock

Clustering Bunches of Drama, Vol. 3

Two Christian Mystery or Miracle Plays and one Morality Play bundled under the overall title of Everyman.

The Nativity - A powerful and moving drama about the humble birth of Jesus Christ, visited by three shepherds and three kings who bring gifts, and the murderous scheming of the tyrant King Herod of Judah.

The Shepherds' Play - A light-hearted comedy about the thief Mak who steals a sheep from three shepherds and tries to hide it in a baby's cradle.

Everyman - A striking symbolic drama about how the central character Everyman, representing the whole of humankind, learns how to lead a better life and how the only way to reach Heaven after death is by doing good deeds on Earth.

Three plays in simple modern English, two in rhymed verse, adapted from the original Middle-English texts.

"I pray you all gyve your audyence

And here this mater with reverence"
