Rehearsals start for Chester Mystery Plays
Rehearsals have started for the Chester Mystery Plays, a tradition which traces its history back to the 14th Century.
The performances are re-enactments of biblical stories, but with a Chester twist.
Although banned during the Reformation, the plays were revived in 1951 and now take place every five years.
The plays include a cast of more than 300 people and this year's director has recently returned from a stint at the National Theatre in London.
