We’ve all seen that post going around about how medieval mystery plays often treated Joseph as comic relief because apparently getting cuckolded by God Himself was the most hilarious thing imaginable to a medieval peasant. This was far from the extent of the shenanigans present in such plays, however. Other notable scenes include:
Lucifer and the other newly fallen angels having a nitpicking argument over precisely whose fault the Fall was, with Lucifer being berated at length by his subordinates for his alleged incompetence
Cain getting into a slapstick scuffle with the angel sent down to investigate what’s happened to Abel (the angel here replacing God because obviously you can’t depict Cain slapfighting God – there are limits, after all!)
A trio of shepherds coming to witness the birth of Christ, and trying to praise the newborn Lord in formal, high-flown language, only to repeatedly devolve into gushing babytalk mid-sentence because the baby Jesus is so adorable they keep losing their focus
The same shepherds attempting to present the baby Jesus with lordly gifts, but having only whatever junk they happen to be carrying on their persons to work with, one of them ends up giving Jesus a tennis ball
Soldiers responsible for carrying out Christ’s execution
arguing over the correct way to crucify a man and struggling with an incompetently constructed cross, at one point realising that the holes they’ve pre-drilled for the nails won’t work because Jesus’ arms aren’t long enough
I just want you to know that there are worlds out there safe in the sky because of her. That there are people living in the light and singing songs of Donna Noble a thousand million light years away. They will never forget her, while she can never remember. And for one moment, one shining moment, she was the most important woman in the whole wide universe.
Wait a second… Pippin’s dad is the Thain of the Shire, Legolas’s dad is the King of the Woodland Realm, and Boromir’s dad is the Steward of Gondor… I think I’m on to something here.
