b. Disseminating biblical stories and moral teachings to the masses

Medieval theatre played a significant role in disseminating stories and teachings, particularly biblical stories and moral teachings, to the masses. Through dramatic performances, often in the form of mystery plays or morality plays, the messages and lessons of religious and moral texts were brought to life for audiences who may have been illiterate or unable to access written materials. Medieval theatre helped spread and reinforce cultural and religious values, as well as provide entertainment and education for the general population.
