Coventry Mysteries 2006
Produced by Imagineer and directed by Barry Kyle

The 2006 Mystery Plays in Coventry were set inside the bombed out cathedral that sits beside the new cathedral of Coventry. This building is so beautiful that it was difficult to work out what would enhance it. The set ended up as a series of walk ways linking a giant staircase to a version of the alter end of the cathedral through which we could pump immense amounts of water. The water filled a canal which stretched the length of the cathedral, separating the audience into the two banks of congregation just as they would have been the night before the bombing. I had no reason to change another thing about that building apart from lighting the walls to create an amazing backdrop. The lighting was designed by Arnim Freiss.
