This title takes a look inside a theatre in ancient Greece.

A poet crowned in an ivy wreath admires the play. Dancers cloaked in feathers twist and whirl, as an actor in the mask of a god falls from the heavens on a flying machine.

This text describes the entertainments of the ancient Greeks through the objects found in a theatre. The book supports the Key Stage 2 (7-11 year olds) History National Curriculum where the ancient Greek way of life, including their plays and theatres, is an area of study.

The approach of looking at history through objects is a way for children to develop their skills of historical enquiry by using a range of sources, such as artefacts and paintings, to find out about the past.
