Athens, Theatre of Herodes Atticus

Athens theatre, Greece

Built by a rich Roman, Herodes Atticus nearly 2,000 years ago, and second only to the city's huge and now decrepit Theatre of Dionysos, you too, world traveller supreme, can sit on these ancient Acropolis stones [hopefully padded with 21stC foam], backs to the floodlit Parthenon, and watch ancient, unintelligible Greek drama during the Athens Festival [mid June - end of August].
