give us a question, so we can see how hard it is? i took theatre a few semesters ago and enjoyed it quite a bit, even though it was an 8am class.

"How did the medieval Europeans deal with wars, plague and other depressing things in life by indulging in popular entertainments? From the Feast of Fools, the Boy Bishop, royal entries to tournaments, to St. George and Robin Hood plays, sotties, May Day celebrations and mummings, how did they take thir mids off of what was bad and celebrate? What were the cathartic and entertainment functions of things like dances, farces, and cat torture?"

That is a LOT of sh!t to cover in one question. and there are six like that.

I think its in ancient Greece..... they would torture cats for pleasure. They would throw them into fires, cut them up and throw them around. All sorts of sick sick stuff. :D in theatre they would dress up cats as the bad guys, and when they had to be slain, they would kill them on stage.

If I come across more while I'm working on this exam, i'll let you know
