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.
