Mystery Play (Drama)



Mystery plays:-  The mystery plays, usually representing biblical subjects, developed from plays presented in Latin by churchmen on church premises and depicted such subjects as the creation, Adam and Eve, the murder of Abel, and the last judgment. Or mystery plays were taken from the Bible. Each play had four or five different scenes or acts.
The priests and monks were the actors. Each scene or act was performed at a different place in town and the people moved from one stage to the next to watch the play. The play usually ended outside the church so that the people would go to church and hear a sermon after watching the play.
