Some links to video clips used to promote the 2012 production. Like the upcoming 2016 run, this was a 'fixed place' production - instead of using the pageant wagons the plays were performed on one large stage. This was erected in the Museum Gardens, using the ruins of St Mary's Abbey as a backdrop.
The clips give a good sense of the colour, movement, and sheer scale of the mystery plays. One theme that comes up again and again is how important the plays are to York's history, community, and the city itself.
