4. Miracle Play or Mystery Play A form of medieval drama which dramatized the liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church that reached its height in the 15th century. Written in Latin, the play was preceded by a prologue or by a herald who gave a synopsis and was closed by a herald's salute. When control of the plays passed from the clergy into the hands of the town guilds in 1210, and various changes ensued: vernacular language replaced Latin, and scenes were inserted that were not from the Bible. The acting became more dramatic as characterization and detail became more important.

11. Morality Play The "moralities" were a fairly rich, late medieval genre encouraged by the church and civil authorities because they taught social and moral values through amusing dramatic actions. Morality characters are allegorical, and the plot's action must be interpreted as teaching something about the human condition. The form was generally static. The moralities were performed by troupes of actors, outdoors with rudimentary costumes and scenery, before an audience of people from all social classes. They also might have been staged as travelling shows on a "pageant wagon." They contributed significantly to the secularization of European drama.
