Dramaturgy 1a

I've decided to tackle one section of the York Cycle plays. The section I'll be working on is; The Cardmakers' Play: The Creation of Adam and Eve. This is the third play in the York Cycle. According to Oxford Reference Online, a Cycle (as referring to performing and other art) is A group of works that either share a common theme or subject, or are linked together as a sequence.the mystery plays of the Middle Ages that were performed as a sequence during the same festival at a particular place are referred to as the York Cycle, the Chester Cycle. The name of the cycle is from the city where they were originally based.
