Medieval Dramaturgy Post #2.

In my research for various types of topical information to help further my understanding of the events surrounding the flood of biblical times; I just happened to find a peer reviewed scholarly article titled, "Noah and Disaster Planning: The Cultural Significance of the Flood Story" by Russell R. Dynes.

This article discusses the various types of natural disasters that are told about in the Bible and the preparedness or lack there of, of the people involved. It focuses in on the Flood or Deluge and the differentiations between the Christian and Jewish interpretations of the event. It also offers more varying veiw points on why the Flood was actually took place back then.

The article serves as a source of information to help guide our thoughts on how and why to get this message across to the audience, through our production. A great source of useful information showing the cultural significance behind the pre-Flood events and Flood events.
