Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book In medieval England, a runaway scholar-priest named Nicholas Barber has joined a traveling theater troupe as they make their way toward their liege lord’s castle. In need of money, they decide to perform at a village en route. When their traditional morality plays fail to garner them an audience, they begin to stage the “the play of Thomas Wells”—their own depiction of the real-life drama unfolding within the village around the murder of a young boy. The villagers believe they have already identified the killer, and the troupe believes their play will be a straightforward depiction of justice served. But soon the players soon learn that the details of the crime are elusive, and the lines between performance and reality become blurred as they discover, scene by scene, line by line, what really happened. Thought-provoking and unforgettable, Morality Play is at once a masterful work of historical fiction, a gripping murder mystery, and a literary work of the first order.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Miracle Plays and Moralities Thee present volume is gratefully dedicated to those members of the Theatrical Profession who have attempted, during recent years, the revival of our early Drama. That this attempt has not achieved much more than a succes d'estime is not to be laid to the charge of those enthusiastic students and sincere artists who, at the cost of loss and disappointment, strove to re-awaken, to the light of modern day, the Sleeping Beauty of mediæval art. Those who saw the presentation of Everyman by the Elizabethan Stage Society, of the Chester Mysteries by the English Drama Society, will not forget the reverent unclosing of that door, symbol-inscribed, and how long closed through which came sounds and rumours of no fairylands forlorn, but the authentic voices of our own and Chaucer's fellow countrymen. In an age like the present, it is well, now and then, to look back to the beginnings. The Theatre is a topic for all, a pastime for most, an experiment for some, a sincere enthusiasm for, alas, how few! The majority of those who deplore, the mass of those who defend its modern development, are equally ignorant of the processes by which it has been evolved, are almost unaware that such processes are implied.

Download or read book Mystery and Morality Plays - The Delphi Edition (Illustrated) written by Anonymous Playwrights and published by Delphi Classics. This book was released on 2022-09-12 with total page 2941 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mystery and morality play were two of the three principal kinds of vernacular drama in Europe during the Middle Ages. Mystery plays, usually representing biblical subjects, developed from dramas presented in Latin by churchmen on sacred premises, depicting subjects like the Creation, Adam and Eve and the Last Judgment. They were often performed together in cycles which could last for days at special festivals and occasions. The morality play is an allegorical drama, in which the characters personify moral qualities and undergo didactic lessons. The action centres on a hero, such as Mankind, whose inherent weaknesses are assaulted by personified diabolic forces like the Seven Deadly Sins, but who may choose redemption and enlist the aid of such figures as Mercy, Justice, Temperance and Truth. This eBook presents a comprehensive collection of mystery and morality plays, with numerous illustrations, rare medieval texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1) Please note: due to the book‐burning zeal of the English Reformation, no English text of a ‘miracle play’ survives and so an example of this drama cannot appear in this edition. * Beautifully illustrated with images relating to mystery and morality plays * Concise introductions to the major cycles and plays * All of the plays of the four principal mystery play cycles (York, Wakefield, N-Town and Chester) * The plays appear in the form of their original Middle English texts * Many rare dramas appearing for the first time in digital publishing * All extant English morality plays from the Middle Ages * Excellent formatting of the texts * Special Middle English glossary of words to aid your reading of the plays * Special contextual section, with four essays charting the development of drama in the Middle Ages * Ordering of texts into chronological order and genres Please visit www.delphiclassics.com to browse through our range of exciting titles CONTENTS: The Mystery Plays York Mystery Plays (c. mid-14th century) Wakefield Mystery Plays (mid-15th century) N-Town Plays (late 15th century) Chester Mystery Plays (15th century) The Morality Plays The Pride of Life (late 14th century) The Castle of Perseverance (c. 1425) Wisdom (c. 1460) Mankind (c. 1470) Nature (c. 1495) by Henry Medwall Everyman (1510) Contextual Works Miracle Plays and Mysteries (1913) by Georges Michel Bertrin English Miracle Plays (1914) by Arnold Wynne Moralities and Interludes (1914) by Arnold Wynne Rise of the Drama (1921) by Andrew Lang Glossary of Middle English Words Please visit www.delphiclassics.com to browse through our range of exciting titles or to purchase this eBook as a Parts Edition of individual eBooks

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God's creations of man in a lyrical dramatization; Noah's cantankerous and hilariously funny wife refusing to leave without her friends; the Massacre of the Innocents Miracle Plays were a popular form of entertainment throughout the Middle Ages, and part of the poetic and dramatic tradition on which Shakespeare drew. Everyman discovers what you can't take with you when you go. He beseeches in turn friends, family (one pleads 'cramp in my toe'), possessions ('I follow no man in such voyages'), and finally falls back on moral and religious values. This is the most comprehensive paperback edition available and includes an introduction and extensive notes.
