Mystery play

context of the York Mystery Plays possesses a remarkable fluidity, especially in the sense of its performance: it was performed by a number of guilds; it travelled around on wagons; the feast of Corpus Christ, which it was held on, was a flexible date; there seems to have been multiple authors for the cycle; even in a contemporary context, new ways of performing the plays are often developed and used. Basically, to quote Mike Tyler’s “The Heritage of the York Cycle of Mystery Plays,” “the relationship

I created my own play incorporating horror and mystery. The title is “Mystery will absolve me”. It was inspired by Grand-Guignol productions of horror. My play takes place in a hotel room in New York of modern time. There is a family of four that checks into a particular room. The family of four is from Kanas visiting New York and has nowhere else to go but to stay in the hotel room for their vacation. The hotel room that the family checks is like a penthouse. But things start to get creepy as

Day-1 Ok. So today, I woke up on a bed, almost falling down. For a moment, I thought where I was, and remembered that I have traveled back in time to the Middle Ages. I didn’t know why I was on a bed, or how. Soon after I have done dressing up, I noticed that there was a little girl right next to the door, peeking in the room. Her sister came into the room, and told me that she found me on this street that people usually don’t go. She gave me a bread to eat, while I observe the room. After eating

Mystery plays, which typically enacted stories of God, Jesus, and the saints, were the main source of biblical education for lay folk in the Middle Ages. As John’s gullibility shows, his education through mystery plays means that he has only a slight understanding of the Bible. The Miller begins his biblical puns in his Prologue, when he says that he will speak

Depictions of Saint Sebastian in Visual Art and Music Zeitgeist, a German term often attributed to philosopher Georg Hegel (1770-1831), literally means “the spirit of the time.” Zeitgeist is founded upon the understanding that a dominant school of thought—be it political, social, philosophical, or other—influences the culture of a specific period in time and that the art and thinking of that period influence one another. Zeitgeist presumes that culture and art are therefore faithfully united, since

Everyman “Everyman" certainly fits the mold of a typical medieval mystery play. Ominously, the play begins with God perceiving how "all creatures be to [Him] unkind." Men, it seems, commit the Seven Deadly Sins far too regularly, and their only concern seems to be their own pleasure. Angered by this casual manner humans have adopted toward Him, God decides a reckoning is in order. He summons his "mighty messenger" Death, eerily and effectively personified for the audience members. God

in the centuries to follow. A comparison of theatrical terminology and stagecraft techniques will investigate the similarities and differences of Greek, Medieval, and Jacobean theatre. Following, the greek play Antigone by Sophocles will be compared to the anonymously written medieval miracle play, Everyman, and Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus, in order to explore how Greek dramatic traditions influenced dramatic writing in these play’s respective times. The Greek amphitheatres were similar

Godspell is a musical that is not based in any specific time, but is a brief condensed version of the New Testament. Specifically related to the Works of Jesus and his followers while he was on earth. The setting is up to the director to decide. In this case it is set in the highline of New York City. In previous productions it has been based in a circus setting which can lead the actors to portray a more sophomoric humor approach to acting. In this show most of the actors don’t shy that far from

RESPONSE Choosing a play was definitely not easy, in fact, it was probably the hardest part of this project for me. I am usually not one to dig into and enjoy plays very much. I am more of a musical theater person, I love to sing and dance. However, when this project was assigned I chose to think open-mindedly and chose something a little bit out of my comfort zone. Instead of picking a musical I love like ‘Annie’, ‘Legally Blonde’, or ‘Hamilton.’ I chose a murder mystery play called ‘The Mousetrap
