Mankind, A Medieval Play, by Willing Suspension Productions, 2022
Description: Mankind is an anonymous morality play written in the late 1400s. A traveling troupe of actors would perform this kind of play on the road from town to town. The message is straightforward: Mercy is always available to even the most fault-filled, lazy, selfish sinners out there. But the stage action is complicated and exciting: three Vices dance, sing, and fight Mankind with raucous misbehavior and temptation! A Devil is summoned to destroy hope in Mercy! The work and prayers and soul of Mankind are in mortal peril! And the audience is in on the action! Enjoy this production of Mankind, full of scatalogical humor and theological lessons. Recorded April 28, 2022.
