Greek Theatre

Going to the theatre was very popular in ancient Greek times. Theatres were generally built into a hillside with rows of stone benches in a semicircle, one above the other, and the stage at the bottom of the hill. Some theatres in large cities could hold more than 10 000 people! All of the actors were men and they wore costumes and masks to play different characters.

R - Name two things actors in ancient Greek theatres wore.

I - Why do you think they built the stage at the bottom of the hill?

C - What is the purpose of the subheading?
