(PROSE: The Stone Rose) The ancient Greeks used amphitheatres for performing plays. According to the Fourth Doctor, the Greeks would put on plays to mark a festival. There would be three plays in one day; the last was usually a comedy. When the Doctor and Leela visited Athens, they saw a comedy by Aristophanes in the amphitheatre.
