two definitions, the second coming from the first which is A form of medieval drama in which the characters are qualites and things rather than humans, although it may have human or human-like characters, the play is allegorical, a symbolic representation of a religious tenent. The only extant play is Everyman. In modern theatre, a morality play is an allegorical representation which gives the story an additional level of meaning beyond the surface story-- a universal truth quality.
