Where did drama and theatre come from? How was it like in a theater, watching a play, in Ancient Greece? What was the inspiration for most of the plays? Lots of other people have asked these same questions. They are historians. They went back to the place it all happened. They went to Greece itself. Lucky for you, you don't have to go to Greece because we can teach you. Crazy, right? It's true! We can tell just as much as those old cracked stadiums could. And you will be back in time for dinner!
