You are watching a revival of a medieval play at the local cathedral near Christmas time.

Although you have difficulty following the story because of the actors sing an unfamiliar language, you are impressed by a large star overhead that moves down the aisle and then stops just over a small scene of a crche. You are obviously attending a performance of a. a liturgical drama
b. a miracle play
c. a morality play
d. a play by Hroswitha
e. an interlude

Question 2

You're in a U.S. theatre. The time is 1900 . The curtain opens, and you find yourself looking into what seems to be a living room, where four people are seated, talking together, while a uniformed maid serves tea.

The maid leaves through a door (downstage right), whereupon two actresses move quickly to look out a large window (upstage center) and two actors continue to talk purposefully. You are almost certainly at a production that is: a. epic
b. impressionistic
c. naturalistic
d. realistic
e. symbolistic
