The ancient Greek theatre was born in Athens around 2500 years ago and helped establish Western theatre. Some of the greatest plays ever written came out of this period, including works by famous playwrights like Euripides. The golden age of Greek theatre lasted from around 600 BC to 200 BC, when Athens was the cultural center. Plays were performed in competitions and used masks and costumes to convey meaning to audiences watching performances in open-air theatres during the daytime.

802 CHAPTER 25 UNDERSTANDING DRAMA The distinctive appearance of a script, with its divisions into acts and scenes, identi�es drama as a unique form of literature. A play is written to be performed in front of an audience by actors who take on the roles of the charac- ters and who present the story through dialogue and action. (An exception is a closet drama, which is meant to be read, not performed.) In fact, the term theater comes from the Greek word theasthai, which means “to view” or “to see.” Thus, drama is different from novels and short stories, which are meant to be read. The Ancient Greek Theater The dramatic presentations of ancient Greece developed out of religious rites performed to honor gods or to mark the coming of spring. Play- wrights such as Aeschylus (525–456 b.c.), Sophocles (496–406 b.c.), and Euripides (480?–406 b.c.) wrote plays to be performed and judged at competitions held during the yearly Dionysian festivals. Works were chosen by a selection board and evaluated by a panel of judges. To compete in the contest, writers had to submit three tragedies, which could be either based on a common theme or unrelated, and one comedy. Unfortunately, very few of these ancient Greek plays survive today. The open-air, semicircular ancient Greek theater, built into the side of a hill, looked much like a primitive version of a modern sports stadium. Some Greek theaters, such as the Athenian theater, could seat almost seventeen thousand spectators. Sitting in tiered seats, the audience would look down on the orchestra, or “dancing place,” occupied by the chorus—originally a group of men (led by an individual called the choragos) who danced and chanted and later a group of onlookers who commented on the drama.

J O N E S , M E L V E R I N E 1 5 0 3 T S Origins of Modern Drama 803 Raised a few steps above the orchestra was a platform on which the actors performed. Behind this platform was a skene, or building, that originally served as a resting place or dressing room. (The modern word scene is derived from the Greek skene.) Behind the skene was a line of pillars called a colonnade, which was covered by a roof. Actors used the skene for entrances and exits; beginning with the plays of Sophocles, painted backdrops were hung there. These backdrops, however, were most likely more decorative than realistic. Historians believe that realistic props and scenery were probably absent from the ancient Greek theater. Instead, the setting was suggested by the play’s dialogue, and the audience had to imagine the physical details of a scene. Two mechanical devices were used. One, a rolling cart or platform, was sometimes employed to introduce action that had occurred offst ...
