Abstract | Vicente Chacón Carmona's paper analyses the consequences of following (or not) earthly or heavenly rules established for characters in the Chester, York, Towneley and northern town plays. Elza Tiner examines Thomas Chandler's play Liber Apologeticus. She illustrates how language from history, in prose narration, is transformed into God's opening monologue. Pam King's paper examines the complex dialogical relationships between spoken, sung, and gestural communication through performance to and with an audience. |
