motion, the name given to puppet-plays in the 16th and 17th cents. These dealt originally with scriptural subjects, but their scope was afterwards extended. Shakespeare in The Winter's Tale (iv. iii) refers to a ‘motion of the Prodigal Son’, and there are references to ‘motions’ in Jonson's Bartholomew Fair, A Tale of a Tub, and Every Man out of his Humour.
