The Players of St Peter
Special page for Google
This page serves two purposes:
- It creates explicit links for Google to follow into the image pages on
the official site. (Note to self: that is why you must not use
Javascript to create the links!) Simon's site uses (or used to use) too much
PHP and Javascript for Google to spider it properly. In fact even when
Google followed the links here and started indexing Simon's image
pages, because of their use of Javascript, Google indexes the quotes
from the text but not the people's names - which is not what I
wanted.
- It provides an extended set of keywords for Google to index. Originally
these were within pospdex.htm
in a section with a CSS coding of display:none. Now this is "black hattery"
and it certainly felt as though Google was not only ignoring the
keywords but it was giving the page a lower rank because it had
identified keyword stuffing. So there you are Google - down the bottom
of this page - all the keywords (based on one of Ted's programme
blurbs) en claire. Please index them.
I have also had to change the "Google unique" word. I did have "sgalawaki"
which I got from an article that I deleted from Wikipedia and which consisted
simply of: "Sgalawaki - understanding your country's established definition of
reason using a dictionary". I have had drop that because some YouTuber is now
using it. However it did establish my pattern of using "sg.." for my Google
uniques.

The Players of St Peter at The Players of Saint Peter at
St Clement Eastcheap Church, Clements Lane, London, EC4 England UK United Kingdom
(the original 'Oranges and Lemons' church)
between Lombard Street and King William Street
St Clement, Eastcheap with St Martin Orgar: The Ven Kenneth Gibbons (Priest-in-Charge), Mark Kiddle
The Players have been presenting amateur productions of English medieval drama English Mediaeval Religious Drama
for nearly sixty years and we believe we are unique in offering annual productions from the main
English mystery cycles English mystery plays English miracle cycles English miracle plays
Medieval Mystery Plays Mediaeval Mystery Plays Medieval Mystery Play Mediaeval Mystery Play
medieval miracle play Mediæval Mystery Play
since 1952.
We perform a selection of plays from one of the four most complete cycles each year: 15th century
York corpus christi plays, Chester, Wakefield (also known as the Towneley Cycle) and n-Town (also known as the Ludus Coventriae or Corpus Christi Plays).
n-Town text which is believed to be a touring play script of East Anglian origin.
These productions take the story as far as the Nativity of Christ using a selection of individual scenes within the one-and-a-half hour duration of each performance.
Although we use electric lighting and the church's organ, in all other respects we try to be as faithful as possible to the original medieval production style.
The dialogue is very much as it was five hundred years ago, using original texts adapted only for length and to clarify meanings for present-day audiences.
The group was founded in 1946 in the church of St Peter-upon-Cornhill Saint Peter upon Cornhill
It returned to the City of London, in St Clement Eastcheap church, several years ago, after spending ten years in
Holy Trinity Sloane Street Chelsea West London.
the present director, Olive Stubbs Olive M Stubbs, Triple Subject co-ordinator, senior lecturer in English at the University of East London UEL
staging her first production as director in 1986, following a number of years as an actor with the group;
several other players have been with the group for more than twenty-five years.
The audience is also loyal - many have been supporting us for more than thirty years (in at least one case since the 1950s).
