Curtains Rise at the Theater of Messene after 1,700-Year IntermissionIt must have been brutal watching the dancing boxes of popcorn and floating cups of soda for 1700 years.

And all those warnings about turning off cell phones made no sense for the first 1690 years.

What about all the lighters held high while the drunk goofs shout, “Freebird!”?

Go around to the back door where they make the deliveries, ask for Macchus, give him a dozen obols and you’re in... standing room only, though!

I think that’s where they had the original production of CATS.

They put 10,000 people on that hill? Back before there was deodorant? In the early theater, the audience stunk worse than a Bertolt Brecht play.

No deodorant, no soap, and high culture.
Today? Chemistry from head to toe, inside your gut and brain too, and low culture. Progress! Civilization! Thank you too much.
