The acoustics are superb. You really can hear someone whispering on the stage from the top row. Eleanor & John giving an impromptu performance.

There was a Greek Festival being conducted when we were in the Peloponnese, so one evening we took the opportunity to see Ajax by Sophocles, in the original Greek at Epidaurus. Luckily Eleanor & Mark made use of their Classics backgrounds & could help us follow the performance.

 

The police filing in were not there for any crowd control duty - but to be spectators.

 

 

 

 

 

A panoramic view. Obviously this was in the days prior to digital "stitching".
