The Mystery Plays by Roberto Aquirre-Sacasa

Show Information

THE MYSTERY PLAYS is a pair of interrelated one-acts connected by the cryptic and enigmatic host, Mr. Mystery.

In the first play, THE FILMMAKER’S MYSTERY, Joe Manning, on the way to visit his family for Christmas, survives a terrible train wreck—only to be haunted by the ghost of Nathan West, one of the passengers who didn’t survive. As the police investigate Joe, he investigates Nathan, desperate to understand why he survived and what Nathan’s specter could possibly want.

In the second play, GHOST CHILDREN, Joe’s attorney and friend, Abby Gilly, travels to a small town in rural Oregon to make peace with the man who brutally murdered her parents and younger sister sixteen years earlier. The man—the murderer—is her older brother.

Called “stylish & spine-tingling” by The New York Times, THE MYSTERY PLAYS wrestles with the most profound of human ideas: the mysteries of death, the afterlife, and forgiveness.
