York Mystery Plays and the YMPST
Keeping the story alive
Supporting and maintaining the community tradition of the Mystery Plays in the city of York.

Plays Productions
Resurrection for York took place on 3 & 4 July 2021 in Resident’s Garden, Dean’s Park, York. This was a community, outdoor, production between the Trust, York Festival Trust and York Minster. It was staged on two wagons, in an enclosed area, in order to meet current national guidelines.
Only a few weeks to ‘The Flood’ & all the other Wagon Plays
The festival of Wagon Plays runs on Sunday 19 June & Sunday 26 June.
PLUS there will be two evening performances, in the Shambles Market, on Wednesday 22 June & Thursday 23 June
This year there are 8 plays, each partnered with a City Guild. We will be working with the Company of Cordwainers of the City of York using a modernised script for both the Shipwrights – The Building of the Ark and Fishers and Mariners – The Flood. See our special ‘FLOOD‘ page for more information.
