Lighting for indoor theatre during the medieval period was done with candles and sometimes with sunlight reflected with large brass plates.

Why did the medieval drama decline?

Medieval theater included types of play that were intended to instruct people religiously. These included Morality plays, Miracle plays, and Mystery plays. As the Middle Ages came to an end, these types of plays were targeted by people opposed to the influence of the Roman Catholic Church as too Catholic, and they were mostly banned by the Catholic Church because they did not really represent it, but gave Protestants things to complain about. One type of medieval theater that survived was Mummings, which most religious people opposed for the entire Middle Ages, but were too much fun to be suppressed everywhere. They are still done today. Another type of medieval theater that survived and evolved was Manners plays, who were not religious in nature and were only suppressed from time to time as being too worldly or, during times of contagion, too attractive to crowds of people who might spread disease.
