There were 2 major types of drama that were performed in theaters, the first is Tragedy which is a serious drama which displayed common themes like love, hate, war, or betrayal. The second theme is comedy which contained scenes of slapstick situations and crude humor. Ancient plays in Greece and plays today are very similar, both are performed in a theatre in front of an audience, there are more themes In plays today but we still perform comedies and tragedies. John Carrol performs plays too, I myself has never been in one but its still very similar to back then. we still dress up and act like characters in a story.



The ancient theaters are a little different, instead of stone seating there is now foam seating and most stages are inside are a little more complex. But the idea is almost identical in general.
