This is a visualization of the speaking roles in the Digby Mary Magdalene, split up by the location where the speech occurs (see Theatre Notebook, Volume 70, issue 2 for an explanation of why these locations must exist in the performance space). The shaded background indicates what portion of the Magdalene's life -- the vita evangelica, the vita apostolica, or the vita eremetica -- the lines are being spoken within, while the unshaded background is the explication by the priest at the end of the play. The vertical lines indicate a line which has a stage direction afterward in the manuscript.
