Exit, ----ed by a bear [Feb. 11th, 2008|09:36 pm]
[Tags|]

I think this one belongs in the medieval weirdness collection.

"One admired eleventh-century ludus histrionum (play performed by actors) is reported to have featured a tame bear, an actor's naked membra and honey!"

--John Southworth, The English Medieval Minstrel, p. 7, citing Richard Axton, European Drama of the Early Middle Ages, p. 18.
