“The Second Shepherds’ Play” is one of the most well-known mystery plays, depicting the lives of three shepherds just before the nativity. Known for its blend of religious theme and regional humor, this is one of several plays included in the Wakefield Mystery Cycle. Each play in the cycle depicted a story from the Bible, and it was performed through small towns and villages.
“Mankind” is a morality play written around 1470, often considered one of the most humorous and controversial plays to have survived the period. The story follows the character of Mankind and his temptation into sin by characters representing four worldly vices.
