Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The purpose of this paper is to survey the documents which yield information about performances of drama and music in Sussex in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The main categories of relevant documents are civic records, ecclesiastical records, parish records and private family papers. The most useful civic records are the Rye chamberlains' accounts, which include details about money paid by the town to travelling players, to players from nearby towns, and to players employed by Rye itself. Apart from the few extant accounts from the Chichester St. George's Guild accounts, and two mentions in the Lewes Town Book, no other civic records of performances survive. The records of the ecclesiastical courts make brief mention of local entertainers, while the accounts of Battle and Robertsbridge Abbeys, and of the Dean and Chapter of Chichester, contain limited information about travelling players. The churchwardens' accounts of a few parishes yield intriguing clues about some church drama of the period, but private family documents are not very informative. | ||||||
