Steenbrugge, C. orcid.org/0000-0002-4130-7565 (2018) A quantitative and qualitative assessment of audience responses. European Medieval Drama, 21. pp. 67-83. ISSN 1378-2274
Abstract
This paper seeks to highlight the diversity of potential audience responses in the Middle Ages, using the audience feedback from two 2016 performances of the Northampton Abraham and Isaac as a test case. These data demonstrate that at least this play, and presumably medieval drama more generally, trigger widely divergent responses from modern audiences. Moreover, medieval sources strongly suggest that many of these modern responses map extremely well onto the medieval ones.
