Texts in Plays
This year the Medieval English Theatre meeting is on Texts in Plays: the use of books, letters, and written material on stage.
It aims to look across the range of uses of written and read material in staging medieval drama of all genres. This might include documents associated with play
production and their functions, books as physical properties on stage, scenes involving public or private writing or reading, written material as part of visual
presentation in plays, processions, and entries, or any other stage use of the written or printed word.
It will be
- hosted by Sarah Carpenter at The University of Edinburgh;
- held in the St Trinnean’s Room, St Leonard’s Hall, Pollock Halls, 18 Holyrood Park Road, Edinburgh EH16 5AY;
- for map, go to http://www.ed.ac.uk/maps and run down the Buildings A-Z list to ‘Pollock Halls of Residence’;
- the fee will be £40 including lunch.
