Middelalderligt teater
Middelalderligt teater omhandler teateroptræden i perioden mellem det Vestromerske riges fald i 400-tallet og til begyndelsen af renæssancen omkring 1500-tallet. Teater i middelalderen dækker alle typer drama, der blev produceret i Europa i disse omkring 1000 år, og inkluderer en række genrer inklusive liturgirisk drama, mysteriespil, moralspil, farcer og maskespil.
Fra Hrotsvitha af Gandersheim kloster i 1900-tallet var størstedelen af de middelalderlige teaterstykker meget religiøse og havde moralske temaer i både opsætning og traditioner. De mest berømte eksempler på middelalderlige skuespil er York mysteriespil, Chester mysteriespil, Wakefield mysteriespil og N-Townspillene, samt moralspillet Everyman. Et af de tidligste bevarede sekulær skuespil på engelsk er The Interlude of the Student and the Girl (fra omkring år 1300).[1] På dansk er der bevaret to middelalderlige farcer; Den Utro Hustru og 'Paris' Dom.[2]

This elaborate image, Representation of a Pageant Vehicle at the time of Performance, was commissioned as the frontispiece to A Dissertation on the Pageants or Dramatic Mysteries Anciently Performed at Coventry by the Trading Companies of that City, (1825) by Thomas Sharp, (1770-1841). The image was designed and executed in copper engraving by David Gee (1793-1872). It recreates a 15th-century Passion play (The Trial and Crucifixion of Christ) by the Smiths' Company of Coventry. Many of the details are based on written accounts, including pageant wagon design itself and the people in the street. The scene on stage depicts Christ, with hands bound, before an enthroned Pilate. Annas and Caiaphas are shown in mitred hats, and a boy carries a bowl of water for Pilate to wash his hands. Although somewhat speculative, the image has been influential and is often reproduced.
