Get Outside and Have a (Mystery) Play: Crash Course Theater #10

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Not long after drama reappeared in the unlikely home of European churches, the church decided again it didn't like theater. And so, the budding dramatic scene was kicked out into the harsh elements of the outdoors. So, they started having plays outdoors. Today we'll learn about mystery plays, cycle plays, pageant wagons, and how medieval European theater moved from being a religious phenomenon to a secular one

Wait a minute. Has Crash Course always been a PBS Studio production? I don't remember seeing that PBS intro back in the day when it was just Hank and John.
UPDATE: Nevermind, I actually bothered to google it. Didn't realize I had been watching that long already though.

I performed a cycle drama outside of York Minster (Cornish cycle, the resurrection. Just gonna use this to shout out to Lords of Misrule. 3 plays a year, all amazing. Go U of York Centre for Medieval Studies!

Damnit Mike I don't know who does the writing for you or if you adlib but you're freaking hilarious and an amazing host. Your smallest jokes hit so on point. I want you as the host of everything I watch.

I-m watching this from the playlist and I noticed that the numbers in this series skipped from 8 to 10. Is there an episode 9? If not, was it just a matter of misnumbering things or was episode 9 deleted?

The Catholics really do know how to have fun. They do rowdy plays and drink themselves pissed. Even monks have fun and get smashed for Christmas and Easter. Everyone should follow their suits.

Would be interesting to see/hear Mike do deep dives on religious beliefs. The similarities and crossovers are easy to see in -myths- but why are the stories so similar?

I watched one of the cycles (York, I think) in Durham cathedral and when they did the play where Christ visits hell, a big flock of bats took off. It was awesome.

You save my life for my IB theater HL class. I also watched your video on Artaud and used it as the base of my research for two of my projects! You rock!

Somewhere along the way Mike became my favorite CrashCourse host and I just realized it - these new series have been some of my favorites!
