Interlude, in early English drama a short dramatic sketch, from the Latin
interludium. It appears to have some affinity with the Italian
tramesso, signifying something extra inserted into a banquet and so an entertainment given during a banquet. By extension it came to indicate short pieces played for light relief between the acts of a longer and more serious play. For these Renaissance Italy adopted the term
intermedio or
intermezzo, the former term giving rise to the French
entremets or
intermède, meaning a short comedy or farce. In Spain the
entremés, while having a somewhat similar origin, became a distinct dramatic genre. The first English dramatist to make the interlude an independent dramatic form was John
Heywood. The Players of the King's Interludes (Lusores Regis) were first recorded in 1493 and disappeared under Elizabeth, the last survivor dying in 1580.
