Western theatre developed
and expanded considerably under the Romans.
The Roman historian Livy wrote
that the Romans first experienced theatre in the 4th century BCE, with a
performance by Etruscan actors.Beacham
argues that they had been familiar with "pre-theatrical practices" for some time
before that recorded contact. The theatre
of ancient Rome was a thriving
and diverse art form, ranging from festival performances
of street
theatre, nude dancing, and acrobatics,
to the staging of Plautus's
broadly appealing situation comedies,
to the high-style,
verbally elaborate tragedies of Seneca.
Although Rome had a native tradition of performance, the Hellenization of Roman
culture in the 3rd century BCE
had a profound and energizing effect on Roman theatre and encouraged the
development of Latin
literature of the highest quality
for the stage. The only surviving Roman tragedies, indeed the only plays of any
kind from the Roman Empire, are ten dramas- nine of them pallilara- attributed
to Lucuis Annaeus Seneca (4 b.c.-65 a.d.), the Corduba-born Stoic philosopher
and tutor of Nero.
