The word "mystery" means a "trade" or "craft" in medieval English. "Mystery" is also a religious truth or rite. The 2010 production will again fill the City streets with drama and spectacle, offering a truly unique experience for local and visitor alike. The plays were performed on waggons at various locations throughout the City, on Sunday 11th July & Sunday 18th July 2010.
