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.
