Michael O'Connell shows that Reformation culture was preoccupied with idolatry and that the theatre was attacked as idolatrous. This anti-theatricalism targeted the traditional mystery plays.

Anhand der Bibeldramen Sixt Bircks (1501-1551) lässt sich darstellen, mit welchen Mitteln und Zielen biblische Texte in den Jahren nach der Reformation in Schauspiele transformiert wurden. Im 16. Jahrhundert war dies ein äußerst populäres Verfahren, um einem größeren Publikum Exempla aus der Heiligen Schrift vor Augen zu stellen. Das dramatische Werk Sixt Bircks beschäftigt sich darüber hinaus mit Fragen des öffentlichen Lebens und der Institutionen in einer ,Respublica christiana' - ein republikanisches Gemeinwesen mit Gott an der Spitze. In seinen Dramen spricht sich Birck u.a. für ein Gerichtswesen nach römischem Vorbild aus und leitet die weltliche Obrigkeit an, wie sie zum Wohl der ,Respublica christiana' beitragen könne.Die Dramen werden in den historischen und geistesgeschichtlichen Kontext ihrer Entstehung eingebunden, wodurch auch Bezüge zu historischen Ereignissen, Entwicklungen und gelehrten Diskursen an den Entstehungsorten Basel und Augsburg hergestellt werden können. Die interdisziplinär angelegte Studie betrachtet erstmals eine größere Auswahl der Dramen Sixt Bircks unter dem Aspekt politischer (Neu-)Entwürfe. Dadurch können die verschiedenen Aspekte der christlichen Respublica im Zusammenhang betrachtet werden.

"A consciousness of the past has been an essential determinant of community in the city of Chester, England. In particular, the city's Whitsun Plays have been a vehicle for communicating the myth of the city's medieval heritage, helping to reinforce the sense of history that is part of Chester's identity." "Building upon the material in REED: Chester, David Mills has produced a detailed study of Chester's Whitsun Plays in their local, physical, social, political, cultural, and religious contexts. A continuum has survived between the Middle Ages and the present day, providing not only an understanding of the plays themselves, but a narrative of the ways in which manuscripts survive and the functions that they serve. The continued performance of these plays is significant of modern play revivals as a political and sociological phenomenon, demonstrating the power that these rituals and plays still hold."--Jacket.
