The plays dramatize the story of the creation of heaven and earth.
It is the first time in 16 years –and only the second time in their near 700-year history – that the Mystery Plays have been performed inside the church.
Phillip McGinley, best known for his role as Anguy in Game of Thrones, will play the role of Jesus. Alongside him will be hundreds of York people involved as cast members and as backstage helpers.
Vivienne Faull, Dean of York Minster, said: ‘After a gap of 16 years it is a great pleasure and enormously exciting to stage the Mystery Plays at York Minster again. The stories of the plays are stamped across the very fabric of the cathedral, from the carvings in the stonework to the stained- glass in the Great East Window, which depicts the cycles dramatized in the plays.’
The plays run from May 26 to June 30.
