Chester Cycle Play 2 Influence and Perspective

After listening to this sound, the stage and concept can now begin forming. As time progresses, the thoughts of not staging a production, but recreating the aura of the play comes to mind. Last post I hinted on how production would be form and why? I spoke about how God's voice begins the play and not a form. Through my thoughts, god is not a form or being. GOD is GOD. He or she does not have to form to lead an audience, but should be-

This only comes after I am influence by my scholarly article Tears for Abraham: The Chester Play of Abraham and Isaac and Antisacrifice in Works by Wilfred Owen, Benjamin Britten, and Derek Jarman,  by Allen J. Fratzen. For the most part, the article explains how people's perspective of the Chester plays production value goes up, but the moral and lesson value goes down. It is because people want entertainment and not a lesson.

We as thespians must learn from the past and understand why these plays even exist in the first play. Refering back to the article, it also sums up, people in the middle ages learned the true meaning of sacrifice for it was the first moral lesson to be taught from these stagings. So we must be influence to do things, not bigger, but push the button on giving the audience the deep thought of GOD's Will. Hence, why I am influence to portray god not in form but of being. Give him/her a loud voice and that is all. Let the audience interpret the words of god and not needed to be entertained by what form he/she comes in.
