• "Cyrano" is the story of unrequited love. Cyrano de Bergerac writes the words for the gallant young Christian who has stolen Roxanne's heart. Will Roxanne chose Cyrano or Christian? The answer is in the poetry of the play.
  • "Everyman" centers around the inevitable foe, Death, who comes for Everyman (the Jester). After all his companions forsake him, he stands with Jesus, to face eternity.
  • The Second Shepherd's Play is the story of four shepherds who find that their comrade, Mak, is a sheep thief. They catch him in the act and are about to hang him, when suddenly the sky fills with angels who announce the birth of the Prince of Peace. How can they hang him now! Will they?
  • The "Wife of Bath's Tale" is a classic among The Canterbury Tales. In her tale, a knight betrays a maiden, and his punishment is rather odd: he must discover what it is that women want most, and if any maiden on the court disagrees, then, "off with his head!" Will he be saved? Watch and see.
