The Second Shepherd’s Play — Wakefield Cycle Part of a medieval mystery cycle, this play combines Nativity story reverence with rustic comedy. Three shepherds chase a sheep thief, hide in hilariously absurd ways, and later witness Christ’s birth. Its mix of slapstick, parody, and sudden reverence makes it a charmingly human and surprisingly funny religious play.
