The Digby Plays is a collection of medieval plays that were performed in the town of Digby, England during the 15th century. The plays are written in Middle English and were likely performed by guilds or religious organizations. The collection includes a variety of plays, including biblical stories such as Noah's Ark and the Nativity, as well as secular plays that explore themes of love and morality.In addition to the plays, this edition of The Digby Plays also includes an incomplete morality play called Wisdom Who Is Christ.
