Specially commissioned for Coventry Mysteries and installed in former cafe in Coventry’s City Centre, Mystery Steps encouraged its audience to act out a moment in thelife of a medieval cafe.
Whilst out back a chef, is asleep in the stores, someone’s butchering a pig and children arehard at work with the washing up, waiting and spit turning, out front a host of customers a having fun, queuing forthe latest delicacies and playing local sports; meanwhile a team are enacting a mystery play in the cafe’s windowfor gathered passers-by. Their show is of a miracle, loaves and fishes from a boy’s packed lunch being used to feed fivethousand people.
