ANSWER:-
You are right to observe that the play seems short on celebrating the nativity and long on slapstick humor, but this play is considered perhaps the best and most representative of the plays in what is known as the Miracle/Mystery Cycle and is certainly the most successful of The Wakefield Master's plays.

ANSWER :
The theme of marriage in the play is portrayed through the first and third shepherd's complaints of their wives. According to them their wives are lazy people who bully them. They advise other people to never get married. Thus, marriage as an institution is portrayed in a negative manner in the play.
