Renaissance Theatre History
The rebirth of the theatre in Europe took on at least two directions. The first direction was based upon the recreation of the past in a movement we call Neoclassicism. Theatre arts under this era resembled the perspective paintings of the time. Theatre like the other arts needed to follow the rules of the ancients as interpreted by the moderns.
