dramaturgy 7a

originally the cycle plays were performed on pageant wagons:

here we can see an artists rendering of one. These were basically small movable stages.

and here we can see the plans for one. Though these are not "true blueprints" we will be basing our wagon off of it

As you can see the wagon had two carts you could park next to one another giving a larger playing space, but it can split for travel, which is whats needed when moving down the narrow streets.
