The Folger Shakespeare Library brings back an audience favorite to the stage, The Second Shepherds' Play, for the holiday season.

Scroll down for a sneak peek at the original production from 2007!
First staged at the Folger in 2007, The Second Shepherds' Play is a medieval mystery play filled with festive medieval music of the period performed by the Folger Consort. A rich blend of music and theater, this charming tale featuring a group of shepherds, a sheep-stealer and his cunning wife, and the miracle in a manger, is adapted and directed by Helen Hayes Award-winner Mary Hall Surface.
The cast features Tonya Beckman, Megan Graves, Emily Noël, Ryan Sellers, and others. Musicians include Folger Consort co-Artistic Director Robert Eisenstein, Brian Kay, and Daniel Meyers.
