Ancient Greek Theatre
Ancient Greek Theatre was performed in large outdoor theatres called amphitheatres, it was made up of a stage and an area for the audience in front of that. ... The theatre space had to be used well for a well produced play, to make the actors effective. ... Greek Theatre evolved a long way and one year a man named Thespis stepped out from the chorus and acted out what was being said, he is said to be the first ever actor. This shaped theatre in many ways, widening the forms of theatre for better entertainment. ... This started the way Greek Theatre was made. ... Ancient Greek Theatre had three types of theatre; they were tragedy, comedy and satyr. Satyr was the least used out of the three and was a short comedy that was a take off of a Greek myth. ... It was more to mock a Greek myth to bring laughter to the crowd. ... The theatre back in ancient Greece shaped Modern Theatre in lots of ways; the stage of a modern theatre was modelled on the stage in Greek Theatre, with side entrances, and areas for the actors to act, with the audience in front of you.
