Full Description
Originally published in 1986, this volume illuminates the predominant theatrical styles of a particular period in dramatic history. It does this by reconstructing - as far as conjecture permits - the manner in which five major plays of the late Middle Ages might have been staged in fifteenth-century Britain. The author draws on his experience in producing medieval plays to discuss the business of staging in a novel way. General conclusions are drawn from specific examples and the qualities which give medieval English drama its idiosyncratic features and appeal are characterized.
