Exploring: The Conversion of St Paul

Episode 203,   Mar 25, 2022, 07:51 AM

A read through and discussion of the play of The Conversion of St Paul. There's a horse.

A read through and discussion of The Conversion of St Paul, as seen on our YouTube exploring sessions in another of our occasional cross over episodes.

The play comes from the Digby manuscript - a collection of late medieval/early Tudor drama, this text dating to the first quarter of the 16th century.
There's a bit of a rotation of readers as we played through the text, but it features Gregory Musson as Caiaphas, Servant, Belial; Alexandra Kataigida as Saul and Mercury; Sally Barnden as 1st Knight, various incarnations of Deus, and the Servant to the High Priests. With Liza Graham joining us later on to read Annas and Angel.  The Poet was split between the company.
