Hereford Cathedral will present the final instalment of its trilogy of biblical theatrical productions this October (Friday 23 & Saturday 24) as The Hereford Mysteries takes to the stage.
The Hereford Mysteries is a sweeping retelling of the Bible’s story from Genesis to Revelation, written and directed by the cathedral’s Chancellor the Revd Canon James Pacey. The production will bring God’s story of hope, love, and redemption to life in a fully staged production featuring a spectacular soundtrack. Renowned actor of stage and screen, Sir David Suchet has also lent his support to the play by pre-recording the voice of God to be used in the performance.
The Hereford Mysteries will follow the success of The Hereford Nativity (2025) and The Hereford Passion (2026) which have been key events as the cathedral mark their Year of Storytelling, coinciding with the 1350th anniversary of the founding of Hereford Diocese. The productions have all featured a community cast of people from across the diocese with several individuals being involved in all three performances.
The Hereford Mysteries will take place on Friday 23 & Saturday 24 October in the nave of Hereford Cathedral. The performance will begin at 7.30pm and tickets cost £10 per adult and £6 per child. This production is suitable for children aged 10 and above, although the play is thematically intense it isn’t visibly distressing.
This production is sponsored by The Friends of Hereford Cathedral and Hereford Cathedral Theatre Angels.
