    Back in the day, watching actual cats preform was much more entertaining than watching actors playing cats.

    Written history is not always the truth. The reality is that the war was determined by a staring contest between Team Trojan and Team Greece.

    Homer felt that he needed to spice it up a little.

    So theoretically this represents the audience at Athens at a performance of a tragedy, specifically the Agamemnon. Problem is that this isn’t the right theater. The Theater of Dionysus is much larger and the view out the back has nothing whatsoever to do with the vista shown here. Try again, Sir Bill.

    There seems to be a faint spark of interest, 2nd panel, middle viewer front row.

    The Athenians were a tough crowd/ a people both brave and proud/ their trials were showcases/not utter disgraces/ and witnesses WERE allowed !

    If these are Dolittle audience reaction shots, they musta been taken during the opening credits. No one has walked out or fallen into a coma yet.
