Who were some famous people in the medieval theater?

Question

I am trying to find famous play writes and actors from the medieval times.

The only on that I know of is Hrosvitha.

Any help would be appriciated but it has to be from the MEDIEVAL times.

Answer 1

John Ashton is the only name I can think of as far as playwrights.

he wrote the "Passion of Christ".

Actors were not individually noted,  Plays were performed by traveling troupes.  Some acted out dramas and tragedies or more often secular themed plays and others were the fools and jesters that did comedy.
