"'The Mysteries' is an adaption by the poet Tony Harrison, principally based upon the Wakefield Cycle, but incorporating scenes from the York and Chester canons, first performed in 1977 at the National Theatre."

Chester Mystery Plays are based on biblical texts, from creation to the Last Judgement. and were enacted by common guildsmen and craftsmen on mounted stages that were moved around the city streets, with each company or guild performing one play.
They date back to at least the early part of the 15th century but were banned by the English Church under Queen Elizabeth I Despite this a play cycle was performed in 1568 and the cathedral paid for the stage and beer as in 1562 and were performed again, over four days, in 1575. 
The plays have been revived in Chester in modern times, and are presented in the city every five years spread over several days'
