How about theatre?

Summertime has long been associated with performance of ancient Greek tragedies and comedies in open theatres and especially in the fabulous ancient ones of Epidaurus  or Herodion in Athens. A very interesting and informative documentary, in parts – no longer than 10 mins each, can be found on YouTube. It is of course in English and –unfortunately- there are no subtitles, but I hope that it won’t be very difficult to follow.
