Lecture - York Mystery Plays: Performing medieval drama in the modern city
Image
The York Mystery Plays are being performed around the city on 28 June & 5 July, so we are looking forward to hearing Mike Tyler talk about York Mystery Plays: Performing medieval drama in the modern city.
Mike knows York’s Mystery Plays from many angles – having been both a performer and a director of the Mystery Plays, as well as a lecturer in medieval history. Mike will review the revival of medieval waggon-plays, the involvement of the surviving York guilds in supplying performers, the practical challenges of street performance in the face of 21st-century regulations, and dilemmas concerning authenticity re language, costumes and stage sets in a modern era.
Members free; non-members £5.
