What were the performance
conventions in Sophocles' time?
The
performance conventions in Sophocles' time included stages that didn't have
much technology at all as society hadn't been as developed. However one of the
only type of technology they did mange do add into their performances included
cranes. These were used in performances so that performers were able to float
up from the stage especially when they were rein-acting the character of one of
their Gods.
