Medieval Plays

I found the Medievel Plays Video very interesting. Although they are pretty cheesy, I do enjoy watching them because they do give a lot of information. I thought the fact that plays were done on wagons and they rolled around telling the story was the most interesting part of the movie. Especially because it was just Mardi Gras Season. The similarities between these plays done on wagons and the floats and krewes that make up Mardi Gras are very shocking! Something I've noticed about the krewe members is that they are like characters too. Their costumes are larger than life and in vibrant colors, and they seem to be portraying a character and acting a part while they hand out beads, which is similar to a charcter in a play done on a wagon.
