There was a debate about side-on end-on performances on the York wagons as
part of the York Cycle Symposium in Toronto in1998 in conjunction with the
complete performance of the plays in one day. You can find the papers in Early
Theatre 3, 2000. You can get information about ET by visiting our website
http://www.earlytheatre.ca/. Meg
Twycross, who is the strongest advocate of the end-on position has written about
it in Medieval English Theatre but all her articles are sited in the article by
John McKinnell on the subject in the ET volume

Subject: lost article
Several years ago, I read an article about the
placement of the wagons in York that (if I'm remembering correctly) argued
that the wagons were placed side-on in part to exclude the established
ecclesiastic institutions. I've been trying to relocate this article
with no luck. Unfortunately I had notes in a database which has since
crashed. Can anyone help me with this? I can remember neither the
title nor the author!
Thanks,
