Greek Theatre Masks One

#greektheatremasks #theatre #mask

My ailments flared up again so I'm still behind with blogging.

There will be a Greek NT post next weekend ... meanwhile since its mid week something #classical


Here we have a sculpture showing a a comic poet or possibly an actor contemplating the masks worn on stage a reminder of several aspects of Greek Theatre 

one actor might play multiple roles 
they wore masks not makeup 
dialogue was written around stock roles and characters
actors were male 



more masks next time
