Ancient Greek Theatre



We had already discussed a lot of what was presented in the video, but it was still very interesting. I found the focus of Greek culture on drama to be very interesting. The resources that had to be devoted to constructing the massive performance areas, the importance of viewing the plays, and the plays central role in religious life. 
I also enjoyed seeing clips of performances of some well known Greek plays. Though I have read some Greek drama throughout school I have never seen any performed. However, I did not love the performance of Lysistrata presented. Mainly because I did not connect with the actresses, if found there interpretation of the characters caused them to remain characters and not turn into people I could related to.
