York Mystery Plays

"Imagine the medieval York Corpus Christi Plays: fifty short play scripts, each one based on a different Bible story (or on medieval “fanfic” of the Bible), each one produced and performed by a different craft guild (or other group), all on one day. Nearly every year, from 1376 to 1569, the playmakers of York put their plays on wagon stages and pulled them across the whole city, with each of the fifty plays repeating at each of twelve different stations, from sunrise well into the night." - yorkplays.ca 

On June 7th 2025, Ethan performed in an historic event that was equal parts interactive site specific theatre and medieval academic research. Ethan traveled to Toronto, along with 16 other performance groups to bring this ancient tradition to life on the Victoria University campus.
