Oedipus Rex, My Way

While from reading Arnott I got the impression that the way Greek theatre was performed was very effective in the past, I would make many changes to the performance if I were the director of the play. The main thing that I did not like was that there were only three actors on the stage, playing all the characters in the play (not including the chorus). I think this is an interesting way to perform a play, but in the present day I do not think that people would appreciate so few actors. People have been spoiled by the abundance of actors and special effects that are in plays, movies, and other forms of entertainment. They expect to see something easily, and not have to use their imagination as much as I think the Greeks had to when they watched plays. I think that the chorus used in the theatre of ancient Greece was a form of special effects, in that they narrated the story with more color than the three actors could portray, by their both singing and speaking the story in different way...
