reviewed York mystery plays on November 21, 2020
York mystery plays
I just love the language and the roots of the intersection of religion and mercantilism here. These plays were produced and financed by the craft guilds: the carpenters; coopers; brewers; saddlers, etc. as a way to disseminate Christian doctrine. Each guild was assigned a particular feature of Christianity: The Passion; The Fall of Man; Last Judgement; Creation, etc. I love this particular era...the stirrings of the Early Modern Era where commerce fosters Christian ethos and the Protestant Work Ethic. These early mystery plays foreshadow morality plays like Mankind and Everyman, where allegory is used to engage people in a public discourse on socioeconomics, not only religious doctrine.
