Colleagues,
A friend of mine, a fine actor with the American Shakespeare Center, currently working on an M.Litt. dissertation about the depiction of Hell Mouth in medieval drama has seen a couple of footnote references to a gala production for the dediction of St. Michael's
Cathedral in Munich that supposedly included a Hell Mouth big enough to swallow 500 people. Nobody he can find has written at length about this. Does anybody know anything about it and a source he might check? It doesn't have to be in English.
This also got me wondering if there is any European equivalent of the REED project. Anyone know of a collection of records for medieval drama in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, or elsewhere?
