Question: 1 / 400

What type of theatre was used in Ancient Greece?

Sacred

Open Air

Open Air theatre was the main type of theatre used in Ancient Greece. This is because the performances were held in open-air amphitheaters, often with a backdrop of hills or mountains, allowing for a large audience to view the play. Sacred and intimate theatres were not commonly used in Ancient Greece. Sacred theatre was reserved for religious rituals and ceremonies, and intimate theatre, also known as 'theatre in-the-round', was not introduced until much later in Ancient Rome. Backstage, while used in modern theatre, was not a concept in Ancient Greece as the performers were often in view of the audience at all times. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it aligns with the historical context of theatre in Ancient Greece.
