critical question #1

In the article “Contraband:”Performance, Text and Analysis of a ”Purim-Shpil”, according to Shatzky notes, texts were preserved in the memories of the actors in 1825 or 1826. So, no one needed to know entire script. Do you think that performing with script is necessary for topicality even without script actors depended on each other improvised, to reconstruct a full play from the parts they had that showed different performing every time to audience?
