Thanks for Shirley's play. Admittedly, I'm quite familiar with eavesdropping
scenes of other Renaissance plays such as Shakespeare's, Marlowe's, or
Jonson's.
So what I need to know, and my original inquiry, is about "medieval mystery
or morality plays," "Tudor Interludes," or "Other European (particluarly
Italian) Renaissance plays."

Since I am interested in the dramatic convention at theater, I'm excluding
such poems or narratives as Chaucer's "Troilus" or "Knight's Tale" or
Sidney's "Arcadia" where, arguably, we can spot some eavesdropping moment.

Thanks again.
