	History of theatre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Theatre in South-East Asia was mostly influenced by Indian theatre.
		The theatre of ancient Rome was heavily influenced by the Greek tradition, and as with many other literary genres Roman dramatists tended to adapt and translate from the Greek.
		Theatre was reborn as liturgical dramas—written in Latin and dealing with Bible stories—which would be performed by priests or church members.

	History of Ancient Theatre
		On this page we consider the theatre of ancient Greece, the history of theatre as it migrated from Greece to Rome, and the history of Medieval theatre following the fall of the Roman Empire, a theatre dominated by an unlikely combination of the Church and itinerant troupes of entertainers.
		Although Roman theatre may not be held in the same high esteem as that of the Greeks, we have inherited much from the influence of the Roman Theatre, including the word "play" itself, which derives from a literal translation of the Latin word ludus, which means recreation or play.
		However, the greatest impact Rome may have had on the theatre was to lower it in the esteem of the Church -- an impact that was to retard the growth of the dramatic arts for several centuries.

	History of Theatre (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Theatre (from the Greek verb theasthai, "to view" or "to see," whence theatron, or "seeing place") may be defined not only as a structure in which dramatic performances are given, but as the sum of all the arts required for the production of a dramatic, or imitative, action.
		Theatre is an eclectic art form, often employing music and dance in its productions as well as the talents of leading artists from outside the theatre.
		Other mimetic performing arts, such as opera and ballet, are closely related to the theatre, the principal distinctions being that opera consists of song and musical dialogue throughout, whereas ballet is an art of rhythmic movement precisely timed to music.

		the performance monologue, performance theatre); "performance" responses to dramatic texts; the applicability of theories of performativity to theatrical practice.
