The play is designed for rapid movement and no elaboration of scenery. Cloths readily raised and lowered, painted with a rude indication of the supposed scene, and light properties easily placed upon the stage and as easily removed, are presumed. SCENE I. The ploughman cloth hides the stage for a few moments. A strain of Folk song by unseen singers rises, falls and dies away. The cloth is lifted, disclosing the full depth of the stage. The scene is centred upon a weathered, wooden cross raised upon steps. Near the lowest step, a little to spectators left, stand the village stocks. Further to the left and down stage is a well, enclosed by a low wall. On the right a hanging sign, painted in brilliant colours and protruding from an unseen building marks the presence of an inn. A rough table, benches and stools under the sign complete the idea. The rest of the scene is space and open air, suggesting a broad, level valley: the middle distance cut off by a low wall, with indication of an orchard beyond. The crowing of a cock heralds the rising sun.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the life and legacy of Wat Tyler, a pivotal figure in English history, whose leadership of the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 remains one of the most dramatic events of the Middle Ages. Through the depiction of the events leading up to the uprising, the author delves into the underlying social, economic, and political tensions that gave rise to the rebellion.

By bringing this historical moment to life, the book offers a fresh perspective on the complexities of medieval society and the role of individuals in shaping its course.
