Not without a little self-interest, I'd recommend--although it will need some cutting, Bernard Garter's effort for Elizabeth's entry to Norwich in 1578 [?]. Lots of bits to choose from, most of which are in the REED Norfolk edited by Joanne Dutka. Sounds like fun: send pictures.
Cheers, Terry Wade


Hello REED-ers,
I have a slightly odd question which requires a little back-story before I pose it.
We at Shenandoah Conservatory are eagerly anticipating the re-opening of a bridge which runs between the two main buildings in which our faculty teach and have offices. The bridge has been closed since September, and this has inconvenienced many of the faculty and students (especially with all our snow). Our Dean has decided to have a "Mock" Heroic Grand opening for the bridge, late in March, complete with trumpet fanfares, banners, a choir, dancing, and 'fireworks'. I have volunteered to find an appropriate reading, and I was thinking of a royal entry, or something which catalogues great deeds. The entire thing will have artistic integrity, but will be performed with a sense of fun.

I was wondering if anyone could suggest specific texts, especially things published through REED. I have easy access to and knowledge of lots of play texts, but am less familiar with the body of occasional texts.

Thanks so much,

Carolyn Coulson-Grigsby
