Two wild strangers roll into York for the 2026 Mystery Play Fringe, and the tales they tell are about to turn the city upside down.
Join Riding Lights Theatre Company for a new production of Dario Fo’s explosive satire, Mistero Buffo in a year which celebrates 100 years since Fo’s birth. With ferocious wit and fearless physical storytelling, this production tears into faith, power, profit and hypocrisy by turning ancient Bible stories into urgent, laugh-out-loud theatre with a clear spiritual heart.
Yorkshire-based actors Thomas Frere, and Cathy Sara will both make their debut with Riding Lights Theatre Company, playing an array of comedic characters in this exciting two-hander of Mistero Buffo. Written by Nobel prize-winning playwright Dario Fo, this hilarious take on the Mystery Plays is the perfect fringe choice for those who like their comedy with a bit of bite.
Sharp, subversive and unapologetically now.
