This unit will look at varieties of English drama prior to the development of the commercial London theatre. A selection of play scripts, performance records, and related documentation will be read in relation to their social context (e.g. ecclesiastical, lay, urban, rural, court), their performance circumstances (e.g. indoor, outdoor, processional, improvised), as well as their ideological frameworks.
