Description: Irving Wardle writes in the Times, 11 June 1984, about the Mystery Play performance in St Mary's Abbey, York.  It is generally critical but there is praise for Keith Jefferson (God) and Harry Bridge (Joseph).  The choice of black teacher and actor Keith Jefferson created a lot of media interest in this year.
