Now we will be examining the elements of the production being drawn from the time of the original productions, in medieval times. During medieval times, the cycle plays were performed in pageant wagons or carts such as the one illustrated above. These plays were performed over several days, with the individual plays moving instead of the audiences. So, each guild was put in charge of the construction of one wagon for their specific play. As shown in the top right diagram, the wagons offered an "offstage" area, but the main component of these structures was a small acting area. These were generally not elaborate fixtures, as they needed to be easily packed and wheeled to the next location for performance.
