The Theatre at Epidauros

The Theatre at Epidauros

An outdoor amphitheatre, typical of those used in Ancient Greece, is still found today in Epidaurus. Boasting excellent acoustics and seating with aisles, the theatre was built around 350BC. [NS] {SW}
The open-air theatre achieved a regular, defined shape. The hillside was provided with concentric (circular) rows of seats and with staircase-aisles at regular intervals. In the centre was the orchestra, where most of the action took place. [RA] {HI}
