When did they wear masks. . . ? In ancient Greek drama, all the actors were men. They wore masks to indicate the character that they were playing (e. g. woman, old man) or the emotion that they were showing (e. g. anger, sadness, joy).

Actors in Greek plays often played several different parts and would put on a different mask for each part that they played. The members of the chorus wore masks that were usually similar to each other, but completely different from those of the leading actors.

The masks were often brightly coloured with exaggerated features e. g. Large eyes, large nose and mouth. This allowed the faces to be seen by all the people in theatre, even those sitting in the back rows. Usually the masks were made of a lightweight material: e. g. linen, leather, cork or carved wood.

To create the shape of the mask, the artist moulded the material around a marble or stone face (like papier-mâché). Human or animal hair was used for the hair.
