Medieval Liturgical Drama

The liturgical dramas of the medieval period were the precursors to modern plays and operas. The liturgical drama gave birth to the mansion stage, the pageant wagons (parades), and a host of other ideas that are still being used today. There are still liturgical dramas being performed today, and the most famous is the Passion Play of Oberammergau, performed every ten years. This is the longest running play in history, having been played for the past 376 years consistently.
