Investigations into the "realities" of staging dramatic
performances, of a variety of kinds, in the middle ages. We know
little about the nature of medieval performance and have generally
been content to think of it in relation to more modern productions,
not least because of the sparsity of existing evidence.
Consequently, whilst much research has been undertaken into its
contexts, there has been relatively little scholarly investigation
into the conditions of perfomance itself. This book seeks to
address this omission. It looks at such questions as the nature of
performance in theatre/dance/puppetry/automata; the performed
qualities of such events; the conventions of performed work; what
took place in the act of performing; and the relationships between
performers and witnesses, andwhat conditioned them. PHILIP
