    Wickedly Devotional Comedy in the York Temptation of Christ1 Christopher Crane United States Naval Academy Make rome belyve, and late me gang! [let me pass!] Who makes here al þis þrang? High you hense, high myght ou hang Right with a roppe. I drede me þat I dwelle to lang [I’m delayed too long] To do a jape. [mischief, joke] (York Plays 22.1-6) Satan opens the York Temptation of Christ2 pageant with these words, employing a complex and subtle rhetorical comedy aimed at moving fi fteenth-century spectators toward lives of greater devotion. With “late me gang!” Satan (“Diabolus” in the text) achieves more in these lines than just making a scene; he draws his audience members into the action. Medieval staging in York likely had Satan approach the pageant wagon stage through the audience, addressing them as he enters. As spectators respond, perhaps stepping aside, smiling, or even egging him on, they both submit to and celebrate him. However, the central action of this pageant is Christ’s successful resistance to the devil’s efforts to entice him to sin.3 Theologically and thematically, this victory parallels the pageant of Adam and Eve’s temptation earlier in the cycle4 and establishes Christ’s qualifi cation to redeem the fall of mankind with his death, which follows in the series of passion pageants that follow this scene. If the purpose of this pageant is to illustrate Christ’s victory, why does it open with this entertaining portrayal of Satan? Why not portray Jesus in prayer or meditating on the Scriptures he will use to resist Satan’s tactics? Can the pageant provide an orthodox message about the devil after endowing him with such charisma? The exemplary and biblical nature of the mystery plays in general (whether humorous or not) gives them a homiletic quality that frequently invites the audience to 29 30 Christopher Crane participate vicariously in the enacted stories and to appropriate the lessons of Scripture.

  • TRANSFORMATIONS of RELIGIOUS PERFORMATIVITY: Sharon Aronson-Lehavi
    TRANSFORMATIONS OF RELIGIOUS PERFORMATIVITY: SACRIFICIAL FIGURES IN MODERN EXPERIMENTAL THEATRE Sharon Aronson-Lehavi This essay examines three modern experimental theatre performances, created in different cultural contexts, places, times, and styles, in which a Crucifixion scene is reenacted. The examples analyzed below, Lothar Shcreyer's 1920 expressionist ritual- performance Crucifixion (Kreuzigung), Israeli playwright Hanoch Levin's 1981 The Job’s Sorrows (Yisurei Iyov), and Adrienne Kennedy's 1991 Motherhood 2000, belong to a broad phenomenon of modern and contemporary experimental theatre performances, in which religious icons, texts, or concepts are directly referred to and represented within a non-religious artistic context.1 Such theatre performances demonstrate the tensions and interrelations between secularism and religious cultural heritage and reveal the ways in which religious themes and icons remain loaded sites of meaning within a secular cultural context. Moreover, although such performances tend to express a skeptical worldview and sometimes even profanely interpret religious concepts, at the same time the artists rely on religion's cultural power and performativity, and strive for ritualistic effect. An early and perhaps paradigmatic model of theatre that straightforwardly performs biblical episodes and religious figures and events is the late medieval genre of the mystery or passion plays. In these plays, performed all over Europe and often connected with Corpus Christi celebrations, there was a unique blend of religious,

  • Medieval Mystery Plays the Tradition of Passion Plays Goes Back to Medieval Times, When They Served As Both Education and Entertainment for the Population at Large
    Medieval Mystery Plays The tradition of Passion Plays goes back to medieval times, when they served as both education and entertainment for the population at large. Audiences were entertained under the banner of theatre, but also educated people about the story of Easter. The first recorded piece of theatre in Britain was called the Quem Quaeritis : four lines spoken by two choirs addressing each other in a dramatic form. The Church soon realised the power of Theatre as a way to communicate and provoke a response and began to produce what we now know as Mystery Plays. Medieval Mystery Plays dramatised the whole Bible in a cycle of plays which were performed on pageant wagons at different sites around the city centre. The most well-known cycles are those of York, Coventry, Chester, Lincoln and the East Anglian plays. The plays were a sign of the city’s prestige and wealth: the city’s guilds were responsible for producing each play and it was both an act of spiritual worship and civic glory. In York, Mystery Plays dramatised the Bible from the Fall of Man (performed by the Coopers) to the Last Judgement (performed by the Mercers). As part of the cycle, the Flood was performed by the Fishers and Mariners, the Slaughter of the Innocents by the Girdlers and Nailers and the Resurrection by the Carpenters. Medieval Mystery plays were not only spectacular and memorable, they had a spiritual, social and didactic purpose: presenting the Bible as embodied drama they were a means of instruction as well as of spiritual experience.

  • The Pilate of the York Mystery Plays Lee Jobling 49
    The Pilate of the York Mystery Plays Lee Jobling The characterization of Pilate, one of the most complex figures in the Passion sequence of the Corpus Christi plays, has inspired few studies. Apart from Arnold Williams' book of 1950 on the Towneley Pilate1 and Robert Brawer's 1972 article on the York Pilate,2 this pivotal character is usually given perfunctory treatment by scholars of the English cycle plays.3 Of the four cycles, York has generally been considered to have the least consistent Pilate figure. This may, however, not be the case. A close study shows that he always attempts to be fair and just to Christ despite the constant haranguing of the Jewish priests. When he exhibits anger it is usually directed at them because of their blatant lies and deceit. He is, on the other hand, also shown to have recognizably human failings which lead him, in the end, to resig_n authority to the Jews and, thereby, become a party to a deed against which his own instinct warns him. As its dire consequences unfold, his fear impels him to encourage the suppression of the truth. Thus his earlier, token agreement with the Jews is consolidated, and he is forced to become at one with them in responsibility for the Crucifixion. Though he shows a desire to see Jesus treated fairly, he is also proud, sensual, and self-seeking, and it is these latter qualities that lead him into error. Pilate's characterization is the product of a long tradition which begins with the Gospels and culminates in the all-too-human figure who is representative of many well-meaning but weak men.

  • Time's Reckoning
    TIME’S RECKONING: TIME, VALUE AND THE MERCANTILE CLASS IN LATE MEDIEVAL ENGLISH LITERATURE DISSERTATION Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Dawn Simmons Walts, M.A. ********* The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Lisa Kiser, Adviser Professor Richard Firth Green ___________________________ Associate Professor Ethan Knapp Adviser Graduate Program in English Copyright by Dawn Simmons Walts 2007 ABSTRACT In Book 11 of The Confessions, St. Augustine asks the now famous question, “What, then, is time?” But whereas St. Augustine is interested in defining time, I am more interested in determining man’s relationship to time. The anonymous author of the early-fifteenth century treatise Dives and Pauper makes clear that God created the celestial clockwork to serve man. Man is not to serve time, he writes, but rather, time was created to serve man. Analyzing three late medieval English texts (the York Corpus Christi Cycle, Pearl, and Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales), my project examines how the practice of time, who reckons time and how it is reckoned, in late medieval English literature serves as a way to measure the status of the rising mercantile class. The purpose of my introductory chapter is twofold. First, I provide a historical overview of methods practiced and instruments used to tell time in late medieval England. This section pays particular attention to the material culture of time-telling and questions the significance scholarship has traditionally placed on the introduction of mechanical clock time to England.

Through studying works of the Middle Ages (specifically medieval mystery plays), I have concluded that the above statements are false. The example of medieval mystery plays truly shows the dynamic, richly creative and deeply complex world of medieval theater and theology. Through producing a medieval mystery play, I plan to enrich the observer with an appreciation of medieval culture in its many aspects.
