Theatre is one of the oldest forms of entertainment. In the Middle Ages, early dramas were often religious and staged in churches. For instance, mystery plays told Bible stories in a dramatic colourful way.
The first English theatres were built in the times of Shakespeare. These theatres were uncovered; it was until the late 1600s that theatres were roofed. Many early plays were set in exotic locations. But in the last 100 years, playwrights have written more about ordinary characters and situations. In the 1960s, many plays were kitchen sink dramas showing life in very ordinary homes.

Hyperinflation
1. Inflation is a sustained increase in the aggregate price level. Economists generally reserve the term hyperinflation to describe episodes where the monthly inflation rate is greater than 50 per cent.
2. Hyperinflations are largely a twentieth-century phenomenon. The most widely studied hyperinflation occurred in Germany after World War I. The ratio of the German price index in November 1923 to the price index in August 1922 – just fifteen months earlier – was 1.02 × 1010. This huge number amounts to a monthly inflation rate of 322 per cent.
3. Hyperinflations are caused by extremely rapid growth in the supply of «paper» money. They occur when the monetary and fiscal authorities of a nation regularly issue large quantities of money to pay for a large stream of government expenditures. In effect, inflation is a form of taxation where the government gains at the expense of those who hold money whose value is declining. Hyperinflations are, therefore, very large taxation schemes.

A very important development during the Middle Ages was the hospital. Hospitals appeared in Ceylon early in the fifth century В. С. and in India in 260 В. С. Hospitals were founded during the Middle Ages in Italy, France, England, Spain, and other European countries.
The number of hospital beds was not always an indication of hospital size, usually great beds were used and four–six patients were put on one bed.
Hospitals were founded to treat the sick people. Another development during the Middle Ages was the foundation of Universities. Many of the great European Universities were founded during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Biological sciences were taught in the universities. Students also studied the human body and some diseases.
