'Past and present, sacred and profane jostle and collide in a glorious tumult in this anarchic drama, inspired by the medieval Mystery Plays. The work of the local writer John Constable, it’s couched in verse that is muscular, ribald, and often dazzlingly rich...' The Times, 28/04/2010

'Constable's achievement is nothing short of staggering, temoering as he does the play's profound spiritual message with humour and vibrant characters... Mystery plays lie buried at the roots of our culture. Watching Southwark Mysteries is like meeting the ancestors – and getting along just famously.’
