Students from Calder High School were busy performing their version in the Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd areas.

And, since 1979 a cast of adults has performed at Weaver’s Square, Heptonstall (see video).

The plays date back centuries and have a re-birth theme and the hero St George triumphs over evil.
