GREEK THEATRE Tragedies were produced as part of a religious festival every year in Athens. Awards were given to the playwright who presented the best series of three dramas. Plays were performed in vast outdoor amphitheaters that could seat 40,000 All actors were men. They wore masks with built-in megaphones so they could be heard. Actors’ movements were bold and definite. The stage was a slightly raised platform. Violent action took place offstage; messengers told the audience what had happened.

GREEK THEATRE (C0N.) The Chorus—a group of actors who moved and sang together— acted as one character and spoke in unison during the Choral Odes, which separated the scenes of drama. Greek theater incorporated unities of time, place, and action, which meant that there were no scene changes, and no complicated subplots; the plays took place in one day and in one place and focused on once event. The audience knew the story ahead of time. The emotion of the characters is what they came to see. THE “GREATEST THEATRE”--EPIDAURUS
