How was medieval English theatre performed? Many of the modern
theatrical concepts and terms used today to discuss the nature of
medieval English theatre were never used in medieval times.
Concepts and terms such as character, characterisation, truth and
belief, costume, acting style, amateur, professional, stage
directions, effects and special effects are all examples of
post-medieval terms that have been applied to the English theatre.
Little has been written about staging conventions in the
performance of medieval English theatre and the identity and value
of these conventions has often been overlooked. In this book,
Philip Butterworth analyses dormant evidence of theatrical
processes such as casting, doubling of parts, rehearsing,
memorising, cueing, entering, exiting, playing, expounding,
prompting, delivering effects, timing, hearing, seeing and
responding. All these concerns point to a very different kind of
theatre to the naturalistic theatre produced today.
