---THESPIS---

Actors are often called thespians. This refers to Thespis, one of the first great men of theatre. Somewhere between 600 and 525 BC, Thespis from Attica came up with the idea of an actor --- otherwise known as protagonist. His job was to interact with a chorus to tell a story.

Not content with one groundbreaking invention, Thespis added another when he thought of the touring theatre company, carting actors around in a cart from which they declaimed.

But then, touring theatre was never glamorous!
