ANSWER:Oedipus
Rex would be performed as part of a festival honoring the gods.
Oedipus Rex performances were open to everyone, but the audience was composed
primarily of men and boys.
For Oedipus Rex officials were responsible for keeping order, and violence in the theatre
was punishable by death.
Oedipus Rex performances lasted many hours.
For Oedipus Rex the audience at times expressed itself noisily and occasionally hissed
actors off the stage.
The production of Noah and His Sons is part of a community effort involving the town
council, the church, and guilds.
Noah and His Sons is mounted on a pageant wagon (similar to a modern parade float)
and drawn through the streets from one playing place to another in the order indicated in
the script.
Costumes for Noah and His Sons consist of clothing in common use in medieval England
and were usually supplied by the actors or borrowed.
In Noah and His Sons probably most of the town's residents crowd into the places
designated for the performances.
