Greek amphitheatres were primarily constructed from local materials such as stone, particularly limestone and marble. These materials were chosen for their durability and ability to support the large structures necessary for seating and performance areas. The amphitheatres featured a semi-circular design, allowing for optimal acoustics and visibility. The seating was typically carved directly into the hillside, enhancing the natural landscape and providing a tiered seating arrangement.

What are the key elements of Greek theatre?

In Greek theatre the actors were all amateurs and non professional also they were all men. There isn't much talk of acting styles so far.

(Amphitheatres normally had about 15,000 people in at a time)
