In 1154, the Prior of Oseney writes a religious drama based on the story of Adam. The play survives beyond its original performance, but productions in later periods become associated with unexplained deaths and recurring violence.
The linked stories follow the manuscript and its performers through changing theatrical and religious worlds. Every revival offers a new interpretation of the text—and a new opportunity for someone to use the play's reputation, staging or history as cover for murder.
