The performances of the Lincoln Mystery Plays have become integral dimensions of the artistic, theatrical and cultural calendar of the East Midlands. 2008 will mark the thirtieth anniversary of the re-establishment of the plays in Lincoln Cathedral.
Whilst the plays remain significantly important as historical documents, they continue to have relevance and resonance for contemporary audiences. The 2008 production will reflect this dual quality.

The Creative Team

Geoff Readman (Director), left, is currently Visiting Professor of Drama at The University of Hong Kong, a role which he combines with freelance work in the UK. 
His most recent professional directing experiences have included Devils Let Loose, the 2006 Lincoln Community Play, The Mission, for The Playhouse in Birmingham, and Stigma with Eastwood Youth Theatre. He is currently directing Giant and Hero which will be performed in both Hong Kong and the UK.

Liz Lucas (Producer) is a local teacher, a founder member of the Lincoln Shakespeare Company and Indulgence Theatre, and chairman of the vigorous Theatre Network based at the Lincoln Drill Hall.
Acting roles have included, Cleopatra (twice), Lady Bracknell, Viola and Lady Wishfort in Congreve’s The Way of the World and she has directed several plays for the Lincoln Shakespeare Co., Hay Fever for Indulgence Theatre and Roy Clark’s Coma for the Lincoln Mystery Players.

Liam Robinson (Musical Director) is a professional musician woking within the community, aiming to bring music-making to a wider public: music will form an integral part of the 2008 production and a distinctive feature will be its local musical flavour.

Commitment to the Community

It is our intention to present a high quality, historically relevant and spectacularly visual production.
We will involve different theatre companies in the performance of particular plays thus celebrating the ethos of the original performance conditions, as well as make Lincolnshire Folk Music a strong feature of the production.
