This play was part of the Oxford Medieval Mystery Cycle performed at St Edmund Hall on 27 April 2019. For further information about all the plays and performers, please visit www.seh.ox.ac.uk/mystery-cycle. Summary of the Play For the last play in the cycle, a group of Oxford students from various disciplines present their imagining of Judgement Day, when the good souls are to be taken to paradise while the evil are damned to an eternity of punishment. While the original sense of the story has been preserved, some of the details presented in this version differ, bringing the tale into the modern age to suggest who might be at risk if this cataclysmic event were to take place here and now. Featuring good and evil human souls, demons, an angel and Jesus himself, this play will bring the cycle – and time itself – to a very permanent end.
