Greenwood Press, 1989. In order to make a reproduction of the pageant wagon that the medieval performers used in The Harrowing Of Hell, one must piece together bits and pieces of information about the production from other sources. One must also use one's imagination to fill in the missing details, and hope that in the end, one comes up with a realistic replica of the actual pageant wagon. The wagon which will now be described is on page 23, and all of the separate aspects of it are numbered. The stage is divided in the usual way.
Stage right is the side of the good, and stage left is the side of evil.
Depicted on the wall stage right is the tree of knowledge from which Eve took the apple. The apples remain on the tree, because Christ still considers the saints and Adam and Eve virtuous even in Limbo or Hell and also he forgave them for the sin when he died for them. On the left there is a tree without any vegetation. This was done because in the play, Satan claims that when Adam and Eve ate the apple, they belonged to him forever. The mouth itself remains open so that the audience may be able to see the devils actually inside of it.
