This isn't strictly Mystery plays, but I'm studying Dr Faustus at the moment (Christopher Marlowe, 16thC, very influenced by Mystery plays, although you probably know that), and I heard a great story recently about a performance of it around the beginning of the 17thC when the actors noticed that there were one too many devils in the cast, and panicked - they evacuated the theatre. I thought that would make a great basis for a plot of some sort; you're welcome to it, if it helps.
