This cycle play follows the biblical story of Noah. It opens with him praying to God and then as he prepares for the flood and follows him and his family onto the ark and through the flood. It is a medieval play, probably written by the Wakefield Master, at least it was perfromed as part of the Wakefield cycle. It is considered one of the best of its kind. It has comic elements, mostly in the form of Noah's nagging wife. It came early in the cycle, probably third in the thirty two play performance. It is 558 lines long and written in 62 nine line stanzas.
