Medieval Theatre

A list of all the individual Medieval Corpus Christi Cycle Plays, Saints Plays and Morality Plays would be very long and largely meaningless, so here are the collections of plays that I used as my primary sources for the podcast episodes in season 3.

On the Blog page there is a fuller list of the plays from the York cycle plays, which give a more detailed idea of the content of individual plays, which in itself is just a snapshot from one particular place and time.
