York Mystery plays have been performing since XIV century and It is the most complete: from the Creation of everything to the ending of everything. Of course it is an ambitious project. I've seen this video "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nyFLOlEupM" and I liked when Paul Toy, the artistic director said they were trying still to give a sense of a story, of a narrative act, taking all the very important aspects of the plays. And then, Paul Toy ,said that he was trying to introduce new kinds of plays. In this way we are able not to see just the same ones over and over again, but, taking up a lot of new thoughts, getting to many cycles, expressing about the mixture of tragedy, comedy in the drama. Paul Toy said “It’s almost like being a chef, trying to get tasty dish” in order to have a complete drama. About Rebecca’s video, I like It most, because it’s very exciting and shows that the first compound of a good drama is pathos, the word we use to appeal to emotion; usually paired with figurative language to make audience feel something for a subject.
