The first evidence of theatrical uses of masks is from ancient Greece. They covered the entire head (helping to further the illusion of the character) and featured exaggerated facial expressions. A character's gender, age, and social status could immediately be distinguished by the audience, even in large amphitheaters.While some believe that masks may have been used in ancient Egyptian theatre (which predates Greek performances by nearly 1500 years), there is little direct evidence to support this.
