This film explores the defining aspects of Greek Theatre. The theatre of Ancient Greece flourished between 550 BC and 220 BC. A festival honouring the god Dionysus was held in Athens, out of which three dramatic genres emerged: tragedy, comedy and the satyr play.
Western theatre has its roots in the theatre of Ancient Greece and the plays that originated there. This collection features video about Greek theatre and productions of Greek plays staged at the National Theatre.
Featured in this film are experts Edith Hall, professor of Classics at Kings College, London, Laura Swift from the Open University, Dr Sean McElvoy from Varndean College, Brighton and actor Michael Grady-Hall from the cast of Antigone.
This film includes performance footage from the 2012 National Theatre production of Antigone, directed by Polly Findlay, starring Christopher Eccleston as Creon and Jodie Whittaker in the title role.
This film was made and directed by Chloe White for the National Theatre.

Dude respect from a Greek teenager, you are a KING tysm, my english teacher wanted from us to find these time stamps, I wish you to have a nice day :)
@@dorzyfn Thanks man, you too :)
thanks lan!! [cry] [cry]
the background music cant let me focus on what they are saying😂😂😭
vanessa cantu ikr some of these channels are a fucking joke with thier background music
And it's neither "music" nor is it "background" It's crass noise very much interfering with human speech. It's jingoism let loose. Noise pollution at its worse. Cliche gone wild! Remove all noise from every film! Just remove the bloody crap! Utterly unnecessary. Vulgar. Have I made myself clear?
Yaa right
i'm convinced we all have the same drama teacher cause wtf how did we all get this assignment
this wasn't sent by my drama teacher, it was sent by my classics/latin teacher
I have to watch this for English, like wtf

Thank you so much, @NationalTheatre. I am working on a play which may very well be best presented in this way. I appreciate learning from you and your team.
It’s awesome that Ancient Greek theatre is being recognized and making a comeback! It’s very underrated as a theatrical art form.
Very facinating! Also very well produced, background music adds a nice touch
imagine being mad about getting assigned a 7-minute youtube video to watch for homework... like, some of us are here for fun.
I know, it's hardly taxing is it? It's rather depressing to see so many lazy young people who apparently have no inclination to learn anything. Pearls before swine. :-D
Watched this for college class. Very fascinating!
Me in middle school also watching it for an assignment
Watching this for drama class hehe
SAME!!!
me too
Happily Beeto Same
Same
Happily Beeto Same test tomorrow 😖😖
Thank you so much for making these videos available for everyone to enjoy. It was wonderful to see the architecture of the Greek stage, the masks and themes.
Who’s here in 2021?
Only me? Oh ok

What is the essence of the Greek theater to you ma’am?

nah your not the only one man. But 1 hour? That’s mad, man
I’m just watching cause I think it’s interesting lol.

Thank you for your comment and glad to hear that it helped with your work.
it didn't
I was listening to a stream of broadway songs and a song from Stephen Sondheim's The Frogs came on. An hour later, somehow I ended up here.
Thank you for your comment. We will be adding more content to our playlist Greek Theatre over the coming days so make sure you subscribe to our channel!
I'll be more likely to enjoy your videos if you drop the "background" music.
If you want this on the top just pin it and yes drop the background music
no

Can't wait to study theatre in the University.
Not here for school, but a theater rumor that the next show would be a Greek play.
Watching for fun ✊🏼
The chorus expressed public opinion! Amazing!
I am so confused on how to use this for a discussion board. I feel like my brain is melting. I'm focusing on the music and not the words.
You guessed it, my theatre teacher made me watch this for an assignment
now you will never know what I wrote to get these likes
J1aming wang

you ain't wrong
I am an actor and i am studying acting via ZOOM hahahaha this is the reason why i am here but i love it
The guy throwing the cart, (as part of an act no doubt), at the end was kind of random and didn't seem to fit with what they were saying, but aside from that it's very clear and concise :3
This is really good, thank you!
7 timea i saw theatre and i really like it.
Could have sworn someone was calling me at 3:27
IB English, anyone?
Me

Regular English
Is there a recording of the complete production available?

Thanks to the presenters and producers for this.
Thank you school for sending me this video but I’m going to go look at the comments sorry not sorry

Definitely.
Lol, who is watching this for Performing Arts?
+Livid Delusion Actually watching for AP Lit lol

I come here after reading the birth of tragedy. I was so confused before. now i kinda get the point
Literally every single person watching this video is watching for a performing arts class.
RaHuHe,
Aha! You were wrong! 99.9% are here for that! I DONT KNOW WHY IM HERE
Simon opdebeeck,
Could’ve read my comment before you replied to him, could’ve said you were in the top 0.01%, but no, you ruined it, asshole.
or for a literature exam hahhaahahahah x))
I'm watching this for a history class
I feel like the only person watching this for their middle school history class..
My teacher didn't send me this for drama class because I'm not in drama class.....I'm a Greek plumber
ive just got this video to watch and i see comments from 8 months ago lmao

When our drama teacher makes us watch this video
Watching this as part of my online school checkkkk
Love Greek theatre.
I need your help guys
I want to write a report about "the role of the fate in Greek drama "
Can you help me plz. I need sources or links or any thing help me
Got this video cause of drama class
I'm going to use this along with intro to Greek tragedy for my high school seniors. They're going to be reading Oedipus the King. Gonna be a good time!
Fuck you teacher
I agree
When your teacher sets you drama homework :/
when you read all the comments by students here for class when your school sucks so bad it doesn't get into anything as close to cool as greek mythology.
I'm set do do this
The pictures chosen for the Greek Theatre are all wrong, as the orchestra (the round circle where the actors would perform) was not a semi-circle in Greek times, it was actually a whole circle. The pictures that are chosen are from Roman theatres :)
Thank you so much for this video!
When you're taking an Intro to Theatre class and have to watch this because of Covid-19
Same tbh
Not 12 or 14 comedies. We have 11 only extant, all written by Aristophanes, of course. Menander is of the New Comedy (c 300-200bc) which is an altogether different phenomenon.
No camera allowed in this premise. Understood, is it ok with you LateCafe?
My teacher: expecting me to watch this vid
ME: comments 👀
idk why my English teacher is giving is making us take notes on Greek history
Fr
hey if yall are watching this for homework just put it on x2 speed. get the homework done twice as fast.
chloe w i love you thank you!
Thanks queen just saved my a$$
thx for advice
You dropped this - - - - - - >👑
A nice introduction
+Arumugham Natarajan I CRIED
+ariana z why?
Omg, I got the same assignment as you guys. Hahahaha
All you need to know about Greek Theatre:
Scene: A tailor's shop in Athens. Guy brings in a torn garment.
Tailor (looking at garment): Euripides?
Guy (looking at tailor): Yep. Eumenides?
I'm watching this because my teacher just sent a pdf full of writings about this, not even a single picture .like how am ı supposed to understand.
was supposed to watch this and have question answers about it turned into my teacher at midnight last night 😳
Freshman year. Wish me luck
Same
watching this because my drama gcse was meant to be todayyyy
I like nowerdays theatres but the olden Greek ones I dunno about them 🤣
How many historical plays still exist????
Great video but Herodio one of the theatres that shows in the video was actually build by the romans and unlike the greek theatres has a very bad acoustic.
Am i the only one thats not here for school??
