Best Answer

Particularly live theater events, Often times allegorical in nature, very much focused on satire, ridicule of the church and the ruling classes. Female roles were typically played be men. The playwrights often used nom de plumes (pen names) to hide their true identity, as to avoid persecution from those being ridiculed. Many plays were written in cryptic tones as to poke fun of the ruling class,w/out the ruling class being aware. It was not uncommon for plays to be raunchy and highly pornographic in theme. (Not actual pornography as we know the term today, though nudity was used on stage).
