                             THEATER DESIGN

Built between c.350 and c.330 BC, the semi-circular theatre at Epidaurus has(1) never been bettered. Its acoustic are near perfect, its design and natural setting breathtaking. Yet, has theatre design really got anywhere since Epidaurus?

(12) As a mirror of the culture of the relatively homogenous society that created it, Epidaurus was perfect in its time.
