The mysteries

I enjoyed The Mysteries. It is something I did not really know what to expect coming in and watching a play all day, but it was better than what I thought it was going to be. Part of it that interested me the most was the fact that they told the entire story of the Bible basically. This interested me because I knew all the stories they were talking about. I did wonder to myself, however, if I would have enjoyed it as much if I did not know the stories before they were told on stage. I think that would make it harder to understand.
My favorite part of the play was when the people from hell came and grabbed actors, audience members, and even the camera man and threw them into their “hell.” This was a funny situation that really kept me into the play instead of being so serious all the time. Moments like that were what made the play for me. Another example of simple comedy that kept me interested was when the “blood” from the sheep was spilled for sacrifice. I would have never thought to do that. It was a genius idea. While the play would have been better if it were more current (background, machinery, etc), I really enjoyed watching it and found it very informative about what a theatrical production would be like where the audience just doesn’t sit in an auditorium.
