Here is a picture taken by volunteer photographer Nick Ansell in August 2012.  Professional actor Graeme Hawley was playing Lucifer/Satan in the Mystery Plays running in Museum Gardens. (See also below.) On two days there were wagon plays performed also - the Creation to the Fifth Day, performed by the Guild of Builders; and Noah's Ark and the Flood, performed by the Lords of Misrule.  Graeme Hawley came to see the wagons.  Here he talks to Steve Bielby of the Guild of Builders, who played God in that Creation production (and in other years)Graeme Hawley & Steve Bielby.
