A promenade cycle of three medieval mystery plays—Nativity, The Passion and Doomsday—retells the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Tony Harrison adapts medieval cycle material as plays within plays, with craftsmen and guild members acting sacred stories in a contemporary setting.
Set in a Greenock shipyard around the outbreak of the First World War, the play presents a revolutionary socialist view of events. Socialist leader John Maclean is discussed but never appears.
