The concept of ‘community’, in both medieval and contemporary contexts, has been paramount in my artistic direction of the N-Towne Cycle. There may be different perspectives concerning the origins of this script, but there is unanimous agreement that the reason the plays continue to be performed is due to their relevance and contribution to issues of personal faith, communal celebration and theatrical entertainment. These three concepts are evident in each of the individual texts and our interpretation makes thematic connections between them.
The design of the sound, set, props and costumes is an attempt to reflect the plays’ relevance to the medieval working community. The use of Lincolnshire folk music is a further reminder of how working conditions would have permeated the original productions. I hope that audiences will have a sense of the original acting styles by the ways in which our actors communicate their family trade, as well as their character from the story.
The banners indicate the pride and integrity with which the original Craft Guilds would have approached their performance; they are resonant reminders of how each of the plays reflects profane as well as sacred dimensions of human experience.
