Everyman Performed by the Medieval Drama Group
Go to this site for photographs and criticism of one company's production of Everyman. The writer notes that viewing the play made her "realise too how important it is to allow our Medieval plays to be brought into the dramatic arena instead of closeting them away in dusty tomes." What value do you see in performing classic works such as Everyman? Why might it be better to see than to read a play? Write your thoughts in the Web Links Activity Log.
