| Abstract | The legislation on drama, throughout the Middle Ages, has many highly confusing aspects. Local authorities, and Church authorities, continued to finance actors and performances and, at the same time, tried to gain control over public performance, by establishing means of censure or even overtly prohibiting performances. This sessions seek to further investigate the ambiguous position of authorities towards drama and, at the same time, seeks to find out which exact notion of theatricality was held by the normative sources. |
