x Medieval Theatre [|Liturgical Drama II]

Liturgical drama or religious drama, in its various Christian contexts, originates from the Mass itself, and usually presents a relatively complex ritual that includes theatrical elements. It was in Latin so many were not abler to understand the language, however the story was communicated through acting using gestures.

The earliest known liturgical drama is the Easter trope, Whom do you Seek, which dates circa 925. Liturgical drama did not involve actors impersonating characters, but it did involve singing by two groups. - See more at: http://www.thefinertimes.com/Middle-Ages/theatre-in-the-middle-ages.html#sthash.t9XGgEQc.dpuf [|Liturgical drama] =Regularis Concordia= [|Second Shepherd's Play] [|Secular Participation in Liturgical Plays]
