Unknown Author

4.9/5 (26079 ratings)

Description:In medieval times, allegorical plays such as 'Mankind' and 'Everyman' were used to warn audiences that how they lived in the present would affect their afterlife - whether they would end up in Hell, Purgatory or Heaven. But in a secular age how do we deal with the nature of sins and virtues? Our attitude to good and evil is certainly less black and white. Is it bad to be proud - don't we deserve respect? Can't anger be used to promote change for the better, and isn't envy what drives our materialistic lifestyle? These five tales by some of radio's most talented playwrights explore our attitudes to these questions through the character of 'Eve', a 21st-century Everywoman played by Rebecca Front, to see how contemporary attitudes to morality have changed.The five plays are introduced by Dr Sue Niebrzydowski, Senior Lecturer in Medieval English Literature at Bangor University, and directed by Sally Avens.1.
