Description
ca. 1000-1500 AD--English--Great Hall at Penshurst, Kent. Here the stage is in the form of a "city." Note the raised stage--this would allow for trapdoors, thus allowing for ascents and descents, as well as discovery spaces, thus bringing the large scale outdoor pageant special effects inside.
