Why was the theater successful in the Elizabethan era?
The role of theatre in Elizabethan England was entertainment. Thousands of people would go the huge variety of theatres every day. They would use the theatre as an excuse not to be working and if they were at the theatre and got bored they would just boo the actors on stage. Another role was expression of freedom. The playwrights could do or say whatever they wanted while on stage and so they would use that to express their view and opinions. The one last role was to bring back the past. Playwrights would try to recreate historic events that happened.

What was the political situation in 405 BC in ancient Greece when Aristophanes wrote The Frogs and what date was Frogs written?
The Frogs by Aristophanes was written and performed at the Lenea in 405 BC. The political situation in Athens at the time was fraught with danger and uncertainty. This was mostly due to their long battle with Sparta and her allied forces known as the Peloponnesian war. The Athenians were confined to their city as Spartan forces has permanently encamped at Decelia in the Attica(the area surrounding Athens). Their only hope at the time was to look up to the government for support and guidance. In the Parabasis of the Frogs, Aristophanes voices his personal concerns regarding the Athenian political system. As at the time it was run by Alcibiades, the nephew of Pericles, Aristophanes would have hoped the blood line of good political ethics would run through Alcibiades, and he would choose for Athens to fight to the bitter end. In saying this it also reflects his desire for the days when the Marathon men would return and run Athens and bring peace, rather than politicers like Cleon who encouraged war.
Why is drama important?
Drama dates back to 500 B.C when the Greek people invented it. Not only did Greek people watch drama for entertainment, they also watched it to interpret it. The Greeks took democracy very seriously, they looked to the playwrights to raise issues in society. After they watched a play, they would discuss it for hours, trying to decipher the true meaning of the story. In order to form a better civilization, these lessons were important to the Greek people. They would converse about what happened in the play, and what this character could have done better to that character and so on. Often, if the play they were discussing was a tragedy, they would compare the evil in the story versus the evil in the world. They would try to organize the civilization and find theories through the playwrights words. Nowadays, movies are just for fun, but drama is important because it helped create the world we live in :)

Why do you think Greek comedies might fail to make people laugh today?
For some people it still would, but since it is basically laughing at the expense of someone else in it's style many people would find it offensive. That sort of thing may even be considered bullying in our modern way of thinking. It is the great-great-great grandfather of slapstick comedy where everyone laughs at the poor guy getting smashed ( Three Stooges ).
