AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'"Mysterium" is a full length play for five actors. Its style verges on magical realism and borrows from the form of the Medieval miracle play. It explores the tension between the irrational and rational, science and religion. It mixes the absurdly comic with Byronic Romance and Gothic horror.'
