About this listen

After the fall of the Roman Empire, the once-thriving world of theatre seemed to fade into obscurity. But art, like history itself, is cyclical. In this episode, we explore how theatre was reborn from the ashes, surviving through religious performances, medieval morality plays, and the seeds of Renaissance drama. How did the world rediscover the power of storytelling on stage? What role did the Church, guilds, and early playwrights play in shaping theatre’s revival? Join us as we trace the journey of theatre’s resurrection—from shadowed monasteries to the grand stages of the Renaissance.
