This chapter relates to women’s participation – or lack thereof – in various activities present in medieval England, which can be classed as having a dramatic or a performative element. The Mass, a ubiquitous and integral feature of medieval daily life, was a semi-dramatic ritual leading to the development of the better-known liturgical dramas, morality plays, and the civic cycle plays. Evidence of female dramatic authorship in medieval England is extremely limited, but Katherine of Sutton – often hailed as “England’s first female playwright” – possibly wrote or at least edited plays, in common with her European counterparts. Onstage representation of women in medieval drama is generally limited to a few characters, seemingly always played by men. Medieval records suggesting that women may have acted on stage are extremely limited, but women did carry out a variety of roles offstage – roles in equal measure unglamorous, unseen, and underappreciated.
