@HLaehnemann The photos & description of the 2022 #MysteryPlays, provided in your alt-text, provide a wonderful intro! Enthusiastic actors & minstrels, a reluctant 'sheep' & an inflatable parrot... https://medieval.ox.ac.uk/2022/04/27/catch-up-oxford-medieval-mystery-plays-2022/
I'll hope for a report here of any surprises in the 2023 performances!

Today is the #4thDayofChristmas, and #InnocentsDay or #Childermas, so here's an #anonymous #16thCentury #song for the day.
The 'Coventry' #carol is probably the best known of #Tudor #carols, would have been sung originally by the women in The #Pageant of the Shearmen & Taylors, one of the #Coventry #MysteryPlays.

Eleanor Cramer: #soprano
Christopher Goodwin: #lute
Alison Kinder: bass #viol
Tamsin Lewis: #alto
Jack Merivale:# bass

We've been getting in the mood for Yule. Last night we watched "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" (2002). It's like watching animated stained glass, I love it.
