Is Pyramus and Thisbe a parody of Mystery Plays?

[edit]

No. Mystery Plays were specifically retellings of biblical stories. The parody is of 'romances' that were acted by the guilds and others. See Muriel Bradbrook, A History of Elizabethan Drama, page 24. 217.46.90.182 (talk) 10:25, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
