Day 35- Greek Theater

1) The plays that were tragedies showed focused on love, hate, war or betrayal and were designed to be on serious topics. The comedies were based on fun topics with jokes and other things.


2)The tragedies of ancient Greece were almost all based on mythological gods while today some movies still have gods in them from history. The main difference of the plays back then is that they were based on the focuses listed above and it is still used in today movies and plays because it they are the most tragic.

The main stage of the theater was in the center with the stands around it. Before they had the steps and seats to sit on they most likely sat in the grass  or on a hill. The seats were arranged in a circular pattern so everyone could see the play. Some of them had orchestra pits for people to play music and sounds during plays.

  1. I really like the drawing you chose. It's nice to see what it looked like back in the day, mid-performance, instead of just seeing the old ruins. Cool shot!
