Shakesspeare.

Actually Shakespeare is Elizabethan, not Medieval.…The church used liturgical plays to teach stories from The Bible, called Mystery Plays, and Miracle Plays which told stories from the Lives of the Saints. Eventually trade guilds such as masons, glaziers, and carpenters took over performing the plays. Later, they began performing plays like Everyman which used personification and religious allegory to teach moral lessons. Today, plays which are heavy-handed and obvious in their underlying thought or theme is called a Morality Play, like those in he Middle Ages.

The Greeks where also the first to use the wagon on stage, not to mention they had the ability to fly people onto and off of the stage using a giant crane. We also have a hard time mastering the acoustics of a Greek theatre. In allot of ways we are still trying to be as good at theatre as the Greeks where. Most importantly we still use the Greek plot structures in the plays that are written today.
