mysterious post

I quite enjoyed the production myself and i loved the dialogue within the play. in particular, if you pay attention, the kinds of internal ryming, tonal inflections, and speech rythems changed for certain characters and certain speeches within a characters dialogue. which makes me curious as to how the dialogue actually sounded in its original middle english as opposed to what we heard in the play.
on another note, I absolutely admired the staging. by continually keeping the audience moving around for the different scenes and continually having them closer to the action, even taking part in it, created a more deeply moving expierience. I would even say it makes the expierience more authentic as a religious cerimony which gets brings it closer to the original intent of the plays and the theatre.

The staging was one thing that I was constantly amazed by. I found the way they used the audience to be pretty ingenuis, and funny to watch.
