A Play of Dux Moraud
“There was no green, only a widening of the street between the churchyard and an alehouse, and the players chose there for their play. Gil had his first lesson from Ellis, Joliffe, and Rose in how quickly the simple wooden frame could be set up beside the cart and the cloth hung from it to make the back of what was instantly then their playing area, while Basset made a grand, booming speech that brought people to see what they were doing and Piers went skipping up and down the street, playing me...rrily on a recorder to draw more folk from their houses.
Despite it was mid-afternoon, there were enough Deneby women and children and men not out to the fields—too soaked as the fields presently were for autumn plowing or planting—to make a good gathering, and to them Basset announced that he and his company were come from Lord Lovell especially and particularly to perform for their lord and lady toward the lady Mariena’s wedding day but that first and here and now they would play, for the delight and bettering of all good folk here, a tale of St.MoreLess
