2 For Teachers Brief Summary of Programme As a history of the theatre and drama, this programme will take students from the Greeks to the Modern day, via Medieval, Restoration and Renaissance plays. Including interviews with experts, the film explores the features of different play styles, staging and acting. The chapters can be used as a stimulus for devised work, further research projects or for developing a better understanding of historical context.

Later dances in honour of Dionysus were incorporated to Greek theatre and by 450BC prizes had been awarded to Thespis for acting in a drama competition and to Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides for their tragedy plays. In the 12 th Century, the first Mystery play, The Mystery of Adam was performed in France. From this came the English cycles of mystery plays, performed on carts by travelling troupes of actors. A few centuries later in Italy, the wonderful commedia dell arte with its use of the grotesque and masks came into being. During the 1600s, in a period now referred to as the Renaissance, theatre became increasingly popular. James Burbage s first theatre, called The Theatre, was built in London in Marlowe and Shakespeare wrote for dedicated companies of actors, and even performed themselves. In 1642 the theatres in England were closed by parliament, and remained so until the Restoration of Charles II to the throne in From this time, women were allowed to appear on stage, and the plays of this time are associated with gossip, ribaldry and bawdiness. Over time, theatre performance became more closely reflective of real life, and actors moved away from stock movements to the more naturalistic acting we recognise today. Theatre by its very nature is experimental and is constantly pushing boundaries. Despite the changes and developments throughout the centuries, however we can still clearly recognise the roots of modern theatre in those Ancient Greek performances. 2
