In Siman 307:16, the Mishna Berura discusses the problems with frivolity and mentions that even on Purim, merriment is only permitted when done in commemoration of Achashverosh!
What does he mean by that? What part of Achashverosh - or his behavior - are we remembering by being merry?

BTW: Achashverosh does not appear even once in Hilchot Purim in the Shulchan Aruch!

@JoelK - it would fit in with the Mechaber's mention of Sefer Emanual - which was a 14th-century satire (I discovered on Wikipedia); not nearly as ancient as the name would seem to suggest.

I believe that Magen Avraham is referring to the evolution of the customary Purim spiel (Purim play) from a comedy depicting King Achashveirosh and the Purim story, to other dramatizations. To quote from Wikipedia:
By the 18th century in eastern Romania and some other parts of Eastern Europe, Purim plays (called Purimshpiln, Yiddish: äüÃÂèÃÂÃÂéäüÃÂÃÂÃÂâÂÂ) had evolved into broad-ranging satires with music and dance, precursors to Yiddish theater, for which the story of Esther was little more than a pretext: indeed, by the mid-19th century, some were even based on other stories, such as Joseph sold by his brothers, Daniel, or the Binding of Isaac.
The original version of the spiel, telling the story of Megillat Esther, was known as the Achashveirosh-spiel.
So it seems that Magen Avraham, and by extension Mishnah Berurah, were willing to permit a play of the Purim story on Purim, but not other forms of drama.
For an interesting first-hand account of the Achashveirosh-spiel, Jacob Frank writes in The Collection of the Words of the Lord, ç1036*:
When I was little, I myself would make as if to play the game which the Jews enjoyed which they called Ahasuerus. Having made up in a garment of paper and with mats, I myself would be Mordechai, Haman and his wife Zeresh.

I believe that Magen Avraham is referring to the evolution of the customary Purim spiel (Purim play) from a comedy depicting King Achashveirosh and the Purim story, to other dramatizations. To quote from Wikipedia:
By the 18th century in eastern Romania and some other parts of Eastern Europe, Purim plays (called Purimshpiln, Yiddish: äüÃÂèÃÂÃÂéäüÃÂÃÂÃÂâÂÂ) had evolved into broad-ranging satires with music and dance, precursors to Yiddish theater, for which the story of Esther was little more than a pretext: indeed, by the mid-19th century, some were even based on other stories, such as Joseph sold by his brothers, Daniel, or the Binding of Isaac.
The original version of the spiel, telling the story of Megillat Esther, was known as the Achashveirosh-spiel.
So it seems that Magen Avraham, and by extension Mishnah Berurah, were willing to permit a play of the Purim story on Purim, but not other forms of drama.
For an interesting first-hand account of the Achashveirosh-spiel, Jacob Frank writes in The Collection of the Words of the Lord, ç1036*:
When I was little, I myself would make as if to play the game which the Jews enjoyed which they called Ahasuerus. Having made up in a garment of paper and with mats, I myself would be Mordechai, Haman and his wife Zeresh.

@JoelK - I think that qualifies as an answer, possibly THE answer.

@JoelK - it would fit in with the Mechaber's mention of Sefer Emanual - which was a 14th-century satire (I discovered on Wikipedia); not nearly as ancient as the name would seem to suggest.
