“The imaginative set is the perfect backdrop to the story, with the narrative having a very Shakespearian feel.”
– Wendy Cook, Ipswich24 Magazine

Mankind is a complete contrast to The Trails of Mary & Joseph…  Again, the clever use of set … works perfectly.

Heaven is empty and Hell is full – what is God to do? Lower the bar? The answer comes in The Trials of Mary & Joseph, a series of mystery plays telling the Nativity story – but not as you know it. The search for an Immaculate Conception hits a doubting husband, local opposition and scandal, and some sceptical midwives.

Plus Mankind, England’s most popular comedy of the 90’s (that’s the 1490’s) retold as a boisterous story of a climate conscious young man caught between the temptations of three mischievous devils and the need to be a good person.
