miracle plays, mysteries, and moralities. The custom of teaching Bible stories by means of sacred dramas (often in church) is venerable. These dramas were known as miracle plays (or, simply, miracles), another name, given by writers on the subject (apparently first in the 18th cent.), being mystery. Of similar character were the plays which, personifying virtues and vices, taught moral lessons, e.g. moralities. Religious plays of such types as these are recorded as early as the 4th cent. In Eng., there are records of them from the 11th to the 16th cents., some of the finest being perf. in York and Chester. Even today there are traces of them in the rural perfs. of mummers in the N. of Eng. (e.g. the play of St George and the Dragon).

Corpus Christi (June) was in some cities a great occasion for plays in the streets (at Chester 24 such played in a single day, moving to different locations, with all 24 given at each). Some of the plays involved a good deal of singing, and contained the seeds of the future masque, oratorio, and opera. In the 20th cent. several composers have based works on the old mystery plays, notably Stravinsky and Britten (whose Noye's Fludde is a fine example). Vaughan Williams described his opera based on Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress as a morality.

Feast of Corpus Christi, also called Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ,  festival of the Roman Catholic Church in honour of the real presence of the body (corpus) of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. A movable observance, it is observed on the Thursday (or, in some countries, the Sunday) after Trinity Sundayand is a holy day of obligation in many

The Feast of Corpus Christi originated in 1246 when Robert de Torote, bishop of Liège, ordered the festival celebrated in his diocese. He was persuaded to initiate the feast by St. Juliana, prioress of Mont Cornillon near Liège (1222–58), who had experienced a vision. It did not spread until 1261, when Jacques Pantaléon, formerly archdeacon of Liège, became pope as Urban IV. In 1264 he ordered the whole church to observe the feast. Urban’s order was confirmed by Pope Clement V at the Council of Vienne in 1311–12. By the mid-14th century the festival was generally accepted, and in the 15th century it became, in effect, one of the principal feasts of the church.
The procession became the feast’s most prominent feature and was a pageant in which [color=var(--black)]sovereigns[/url] and princes took part, as well as magistrates and members of guilds. In the 15th century the procession was customarily followed by the performance by guild members of miracle plays and mystery plays. After the doctrine of transubstantiation was rejected during the Reformation, the festival was suppressed in Protestant churches.[/font][/size][/color]




The title that you chose makes a very serious accusation. Do you have more than
I should have ended my Title with a question mark, but there wasn't any additional character space.  That would have been less assuming, so I apologize for that.

Oscar Wilde did convert on his deathbed and died repentantly as far as we can tell. He long has an interest in Catholicism. His rooms in university were covered with papal images. Given that Oscar was a large hulking man, with a sharp wit, it was unlikely he was mocked, or that it mattered then to him.
The successful opening night of this specific play marked the summit of Wilde's career, but was also the start of his his downfall. The Marquess of Queensberry, whose son Lord Alfred Douglas was Wilde's lover, planned to present the writer with a bouquet of rotten vegetables and disrupt the show. Wilde was tipped off and Queensberry was refused admission. Their feud came to a climax in court, where Wilde's ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity was revealed to the public and he was sentenced to imprisonment for his sodomite lifestyle. Despite the play's early success, Wilde's notoriety caused the play to be closed after a small number of performances. After his release from prison, Wilde published the play from exile in Paris, but he wrote no further comic or dramatic work afterwards.
Of course, we hope that Oscar Wilde's soul was indeed saved, but during the time of his career he was a ravenous ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ and, as such, not a role model to be celebrated in any regard by Traditional Catholics. Pick another play or none at all.

traditionally it was a religious play during month of June.

Considering theatre is being used to promote liberal agendas today, it is better not to have them.  School needs to catechize children and prepare them for work too.   

Traditionally children went to school to learn the basics then went home to work on farms, family businesses etc to help support their families.
