THEATRE TEST NOTES 4

Explain what cycle plays were and how they were staged:

At least 125 English towns produced mystery plays, generally called cycle plays because they were commonly performed at the time of the church festival of Corpus Christi. Cycle Plays were staged with a rolling procession.

What textual examples are given from the play Everyman?:

Everyman has been popular with English audierably since 1520. It is a morality play. Everyman, archetypal human in the play, had to choose between good and evil, which were represented by colorful stage characters carrying names such as Good Deeds, Truth, Fellowship, Strength, Knowledge, Beauty, Doctor, Death and God.

Highlight important characteristics of The Corpus Christi Plays at York:

It involved a procession through town in which each of the entire series of playlets was "toured" on its own rolling stage to ten, twelve, sometimes even sixteen different locales throughout the city for as many seperate performaces are they were stations.

Give a brief synopsis of The York Cycle play “The Creation and the Fall of Lucifer”:

God announces that he is the almighty, and then turns to his archangel. He names him Lucifer, the bearer of light. God exits the stage of Heaven and then Lucifer rants to his angel followers. Lucifer boasts about his powers and makes the mistake of comparing himself to God. He and his loyal angels then fall in Hell. The angels around Lucifer become devils and they blame him for their suffering. Lucifer, too, suffers greatly and cries out in Hell. Meanwhile, in Heaven, God creates Earth, darkness and light. The darkness is for those in Hell and the creating of light is for mankind.

Explain important characteristics of morality plays:

The typical morality play portrays an archetypal human, usually named Mankind or Everyman, who much choose between good and evil, which are represented by colorful stage characters carrying names such as Good Deeds, Truth, Fellowship, Strength, Knowledge and God. Morality plays ended with a character, often called the Doctor who pronounced the play's moral.

Highlight 6 important elements of the Quem Queritis:

1). Serious Drama
2). Exposition
3). Conflict
4). Recognition
5). Reversal
6). Catharsis Attendant Singing the Alleluia

How did drama evolve once it moved out of the church in the 13th Century?:

The medieval theatre developed a social and aesthetic dimension that could never be wholly acheived within the confines of liturgical works.

Explain how satirical literature was incorporated into the Medieval literature and give concrete examples:

The conventions and verse forms of medieval theatre lend themselves readily to satire, as Shakespeare made clear in a clever parody, woven into his A Midsummer Night's Dream. Within Dream, a group of village craftsmen produce the "play" of Pyramus & Thisbe; thus the audience witnesses the casting, rehearsing and finally the presentation of a play-within-a-play.

Ok, time to print so I can study this later. Phew... This is getting tiring... ~_~

[FlameMaster5]

Ok... I've been studing over this mess and I still haven't got it down. The test is tomorrow, so I thought of another way to learn this: WRITE IT CONTINUOUSLY. For the record, this is not spamming, it's a way to engrave it in my mind. So, here I go...
