- Description
- Reads Chauntecleer's descent from the perch in NPT as evidence that medieval stage entrances were marked by "masculine assertiveness," useful for clarifying differences among characters in a limited troupe. Compares the narrative scene with dramatic scenes from "Magnificence" and anecdotes about acting from Richard Tarleton's "Jests."
