Greek Theatres

In order to develop your understanding of the traditional way in which these scripts were performed I would like you to comprehend the magnitude of Greek theatres. Most modern Broadway theatres average around one thousand seats. Anything over 2000 is considered huge. The Theatre of Dionysus in Athens held Seventeen-Thousand People! Greek plays are written to be performed to huge audiences at great distances. You must take this in to consideration in your work. Please take the virtual tours of the theatre of Dionysus and other Greek theatres and explore the raw magnitude of them.
