How did drama start in England?

Answer:
Drama was developed by the Greeks, taken in by the Romans, and then it generally spread around the world.

European and English drama began with religious depictions, in liturgical plays. People would gather at church on feast days to watch as the players acted out the achievements of saints, or other stories as described in the Bible. These 'mystery plays' later included non-religious themes and moved from the cathedrals to common halls.
