A three-part version of the English Mystery plays
with Denis Quilley as God, Peter Jeffrey as Lucifer, Hannah Gordon as Eve, Julian Glover as Cain, Richard Briers as Noah, Stephen Murray as Abraham, Sue Jones-Davies as Mary, John Rowe as Jesus and Timothy West as The Prologue

In which Lucifer is driven into Hell; Paradise is lost; Cain murders Abel; Noah survives the flood; Abraham obeys God; and Joseph disbelieves the Virgin birth.

Good angels, bad angels, animals, birds and effects created by the company.

(Peter Jeffrey is a Nation-al Theatre player. Richard Briers is in 'Middle Age Spread' at the Lyric Theatre; Timothy West in 'Beecham' at the Apollo Theatre)
