Week 2: Greek Theater


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theatre_of_ancient_Greece

I really like Wikipedia as a web resource for information on Greek theater. It really does cover everything there is to know on Greek theater. I am also glad that there is also so much information on the masks. There is a picture of some of the masks used in Greek theater (right), which I found on the website. I like how both masks have so much detail and have their own distinct character and emotion. While reading the information, I was able to see the many connections there are between Greek and Western theater, like trap doors and Pinakes. I think this would be a good website for anyone who just wants to know all about Greek theater. There are only a few images so if you are looking for pictures of Greek theater, this is not the website for you. Greek theater and Kabuki have a lot in common. The major difference is that Kabuki is a very traditional type of theater and Greek theater has a much more modern feel. I think I would rather go see a Greek theater performance.
