Medieval plays were called "morality plays". The characters in the morality plays were personifications of good and evil, usually involved in a struggle for a man's soul.

The form was static, but it's popularity contributed significantly to the later secularization of European drama.
How were medieval plays staged?
Depending on the area of the performances, the plays were performed in the middle of the street, on pageant wagons in the streets of great cities (this was inconvenient for the actors because the small stage size made stage movement impossible), in the halls of nobility, or in the round in amphitheatres, as suggested by current archaeology in Cornwall and the southwest of England.
