The Doubter’s Mysteries are an attempt to write a short cycle of Mystery Plays – ie. plays based on Bible stories, like the Medieval Mystery Plays of York, Chester and Wakefield – from the point of view of a sceptical modern audience; an audience which either doesn’t believe in God, or can’t work out what he’s playing at.

The entire cycle, consisting of fourteen plays and fourteen colour designs, has just been published as a book via Amazon – https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1699655065 – price £25.

For those in the USA, the URL is https://www.amazon.com/dp/1699655065 and the price is $31.62.
