History of Medieval Theatre

By Sarah, Andrew, Hannah

The Way Plays Staged and Acted

Kinds of Plays

-Liturgical drama (based on incidents in the Bible and performed in churches on holy days)

-Mystery plays (more eleborate than Liturgical drama)

-Morality plays (an allegorical play)

-Farces (a comedy exaggerated)

-Masques (festive courtly

entertainment)

At the end of the 12th century staging for middle aged theatre included village greens, churches, churchyards, halls, and the ruins of Roman amphitheaters. They have other places that they call “flexible” theaters. The only theater that they did not use was the proscenium theater. What made medieval theater so adaptable was a staging technique called multiple setting. It uses local scenic structure, like mansions or houses, as a background. By the late middle ages temporary theaters were being built in market squares and in open areas or just outside of the city
