Motion, name given in the 16th and 17th centuries to the puppet-plays of the itinerant showmen. The earliest dealt with biblical subjects, and Shakespeare refers in
The Winter's Tale to ‘a motion of the Prodigal Son’. Later the range of subjects was extended, and episodes were used from medieval romance, mythology, and contemporary history.
