This online exhibition brings together original documents found in libraries and archives in Durham, Northumberland and Yorkshire to share the evidence for plays, music and festive customs in the North East in the later medieval and early modern periods \u2013 up until the outbreak of the Civil War in 1642. In that year the London theatres were ordered to be closed, and many old traditions were cut off, not to be reinstated until the restoration of King Charles II in 1660.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
