I started this investigation because of my experience of playing the pageant of Doomsday in 1988 along part of the original route in York in the fading light of evening, and the apparent necessity for some form of artificial lighting – for which there is no evidence in the records. It widened, almost inevitably, to take in other pageants which called more conspicuously for lighting effects which, it seemed, must have depended on the manipulation of sunlight. Doomsday, and the plays which immediately precede it, do not depend thematically on the revelation of a great light.
