Past Meetings

Medieval English Theatre holds a meeting each year on the last Saturday in March, each time in a different venue and on a different topic. The list below gives a conspectus of all past meetings from the original one at Lancaster in 1979, held to discuss 'The Pageant Waggon'. The papers at that meeting were the genesis of the journal.
