What part did the bible play in the Reformation?

The Bible, especially reading the Bible, played an important part in the reformation. People like John Wycliffe, Jan Huss, Martin Luuther, John Calvin actually read the Bible and could see the Roman Catholic church taught false doctrines and practiced things that were not in the Bible-especially the teaching and the sale of indulgences or the abuses thereof, and simony, the selling and buying of clerical offices. The reformers saw these and other things as evidence of the systemic corruption of the Church's Roman Catholic Church hierarchy, which included the Pope.

Why was the play Everyman the most popular of the Middle Ages?

I presume you are referring to the morality play. Simply, as it was a clear demonstration of the continued fight between good and evil. Morality plays were intended for the illiterate who couldn't read the bible. Everyman demonstrates the basic principles of the bible. That if you lead a good life you will receive salvation. If you were sinful, damnation would be your reward. Going beyond the vernacular, its universal theme is why it has endured for so long. Even today we are still questioning the very notion of death. The personification of these ideas in the play it what makes it both entertaining and memorable.
