History of Drama:

In the 6th century, BCE Drama was a mass of the Greek god Dionysus, who was the God of wine
(pleasure god), Dionysus had two views to him good and bad (comedy and tragedy). The
worship performed by the chorus who was a group of chanters that danced around a
tabernacle to honor his departure and the song they sang was called the goat-song or tragos
(the Greek word for tragedy). They were 49 people with a leader that communicated or sang
with each other, however, Thespis (the first actor) acquired the first trial by stepping out from
the chorus and occupying in dialogue and gave Thespian name to actors ever since.

we have 4 main playwriters:

1.Aeschylus: Increased number of actors, decreased the extent of the chorus.

2.Sophocles: Listed with Shakespeare as one of the best writers of all time.

3.Euripides: Repeated human relationships.

4.Aristophanes: Founder of Greek comedy, Reflected nothing sacred.

After the greek empire falls down, The Roman theater came:

It wasn't successful at all because it was immoral and contained death or sexual scenes.

Followed by the church's drama (religious): It was all about bible stories like Middle Essen and
was moral and performance was on platforms called mansions. Three villas expressed Heaven,
Hell, and the Sea of Galilee inside churches. ThenFolk Drama came – secular drama (non-
religious) which was discouraged by the church and used place around planting and fall time
and performed outdoors.
