VPT 324 - Medieval Theatre: Staging the Divine

Three Credits
Not Offered 2015-2016

Similar to ancient Greece, medieval drama originated spontaneously in ceremonial acts of worship. The Catholic Church which had originally declared its hostility to the theatre, eventually became its advocate and sponsor. The study of the plays and their theatrical presentation helps to illuminate medieval life and faith, and how theatre served as rite, education and entertainment.

Fulfills the Catholic Intellectual Traditions requirement.
