Costumes

For the pageant plays of the Medieval England, costumes were the responsibility of the guild that was putting on the play. Therefore many of the pageants had simple costumes, unless the guild had to do with the fabric.

The costumes for "The building of the Ark" play would probably be generic and follow the simple guides that other pageant plays followed. Noah, being an important biblical character would have worn contemporary clothing, hoods, doublets, or loose gowns. On the other hand, God would wear bishops robes to show his importance and religiousness.
