And that’s why it’s an open-air theater.

Where is the parking lot and rest rooms?
To: PhiloBedo
Because A.D. was misused so much they just gave up.

The audience stunk worse than a Bertold Brecht play”
No they didn’t. Even 10,000 without deoderant doesn’t begin to match the Cosmic Stench of Brecht’s plays my well-versed friend.

MOTHER COURAGE made me cry. Actually, it made me throw-up and my eyes watered a little.

“The Rolling Stones played the first show there.”
That’s funny.... Maybe that’s how they chose their name, from Romans rolling stones into place to build the arena.

Must have been some line at the candy counter ...
Not to mention the rest rooms ...

Not only no d.o., also no toilet paper, imagine that.

The mystery is, why were those ancient drunks holding up lighters, since no one in Greece even *had* tobacco for another 2000 years.

But then, no cellphones ringing, and no jeering of politically incorrect lines in the plays.

They've had hemp in Europe for 10,000 years or so. I have no idea whether they smoked it.
