What created Medieval theatre? Church was conducted in Latin and therefore was above most of the congregation. The church decided to show stories so that everyone would be able to understand.

The mystery plays were still long winded and dull so “interludes” were created to keep the attention of the audience. Interlude meaning between the games included slapstick. It derived from France and Italy, which originally came from the Roman comedy writers Plautus and Terrence.
