Ancient Period Medieval Period Renaissance Period

Tragedy- branch of drama that
treats in a serious and
dignified style the sorrowful or
terrible events encountered or
caused by a heroic individual.
By extension the term may be
applied to other literary works,
such as the novel.
Satyr- These short plays were
performed between the acts of
tragedies and made fun of the
plight of the tragedy's
characters. The satyrs were
mythical half-human, half-goat
figures and actors in these
plays wore large phalluses for
comic effect. Few examples of
these plays survive.
Morality Plays- were popular in
15th- and 16th-century Europe.
They used allegorical stories to
teach a moral message, underpinned
by Christian teachings. The
characters personified abstract
qualities of goodness and evil, virtue
and vice, which engaged in a battle
to win the soul of the 'mankind'
figure.
Feast of Fools- developed in the late
twelfth and early thirteenth centuries
as an elaborate and orderly liturgy
for the day of the
Circumcision(1January). Celebratin
g the biblical principle that “God
chose what is foolish in the world to
shame the wise”
Commedia dell’arte- The
commedia dell'arte was a
form of popular theatre that
emphasized ensemble
acting; its improvisations
were set in a firm
framework of masks and
stock situations, and its
plots were frequently
borrowed from the classical
literary tradition of the
commedia erudita, or
literary drama.
William Shakespeare-
Between about 1590 and
1613, Shakespeare wrote at
least 37 plays and
collaborated on several
more. His 17 comedies

Baroque Period
Sentimental Comedy- sentimental
comedy, a dramatic genre of the
18th century, denoting plays in
which middle-class protagonists
triumphantly overcome a series of
moral trials. Such comedy aimed
at producing tears rather than
laughter.
Opera- An opera, like a play, is a
dramatic form of theatre that
includes scenery, props and
costumes. In opera, however, the
actors are trained singers who
sing their lines instead of
speaking them. An orchestra
accompanies the singers. A
conductor coordinates the singers
on stage and the musicians in the
orchestra pit.
