drama resources

This section of the site is very much a work-in-progress.  Have a link you’d like me to add? Just let me know.

York Plays route simulator: curious about how processional staging really worked in medieval York? Check out this site (you’ll need Java for it to work). I recommend setting the simulator to one of its slowest settings so that you can really follow the progress.

Records of Early English Drama: provides useful context for performances of medieval drama. You can also see e-texts of their volumes here.

video clips

It’s always difficult to study drama based on a printed script alone. But even if you can’t see a full-scale production of the plays you’re studying, there are lots of great video clips on the net that can give you a taste of what these plays feel like in performance.

To see a few favorite performance clips, please check out this playlist on my YouTube Channel.

For a sneak peek, enjoy this clip from the 1997 BBC documentary series Conjuring Shakespeare (unfortunately, not available on DVD):
