Carol,
   I believe the term "Morality Play" refers to a play that has characters
that represent archtypes of personalities even more than in normal theatre.
You may have heard the phrase "Passion play" used in a similar manner.  This
type of theatre is what the ancient Greeks thrived on.
 
          I hope that clears things up a bit,
                           Alex Rosenheim
