Exploring Chester Play 24 (Judgement)
Episode 118, Nov 23, 2019, 08:41 AM
An exploratory read through of play 24 from the Chester Mystery Cycle
Exploring the Chester Mystery Cycle - Play 24 (Judgement)
From our Exploring workshop, where we read through the text of this play for future use towards an audio/stage show. It's the end - except it isn't really, because we're just going to start on another mystery cycle anyway. And we'll go back over all of this again at some point. The great journey of life continues.
Anyway, This is the Webstars play of the Judgement - where some judging goes on. More low key then the extravaganza last time, but still pretty epic.
The Beyond Shakespeare Irregulars this episode were Liz Cole, Richard Fawcett, Mark Scanlon, and Alan Scott – with host, Robert Crighton.
There are more versions of the Chester plays than you can shake a stick at - (actually there are eight) - so any text you use to follow will probably be a bit different to ours (for the sticklers, our base text was H, except for play five, where it was just easier to go for a group text (D-or Hm, A, R, B) composite - though some readings may have been borrowed from all). However, you don't necessarily need to worry about such things, so here's a nice friendly modern spelling version we found online. http://groups.chass.utoronto.ca/plspls/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/index.html
