An amphitheatre is a theatre built to the Greek model. The stage is semicircular and backed with a wall behind which the actors can change and wait for their cues. The audience sits in semicircular tiers, going higher and higher as they get further from the stage. Some hillsides are naturally shaped like amphitheatres which no doubt was what gave the Greeks the idea in the first place.
