The reader further ascertains the important role played by theatre in difficult periods of Greek history, as well as the fact that theatrical performances are very often consequent upon and associated with political and social events of national importance. Through his art the actor expresses, interprets and presents personalities and incidents, and satirizes difficult situations, thus entertaining the public.
