Exploring: N-Town, Plays 26 to 27 (Passion Play 1)
Episode 181, Jul 11, 2021, 09:16 AM
First exploratory read through of the N-Town plays 26 to 27
Exploring: The N-Town Play, a slow burn look at a medieval Mystery (sort of) cycle. The N-Town Play comes to us as a single manuscript, but it's a compilation of various different sources - including elements from what looks like a cycle and various other large scale productions focusing on episodes from the Bible.
The journey continues with plays twenty-six to twenty-seven - looking at the opening of the Passion sequence, or the opening of Passion Play 1.

The host was Robert Crighton, who also read Thomas.
There are various online and purchasable versions of these texts available - here's a good one, but is in the original middle English and might put you off - others should be hunted for to taste.
