This chapter focuses on the dramatic festivals held from the Hellenistic to the Roman period. My discussion is chronologically arranged into two main parts, one covering the Hellenistic period and the other the Roman period. Each section follows the same arrangement: after reviewing various sources for actors’ activities and dramatic festivals, I consider both the premieres and post-premiere performances recorded. Although festival catalogues regularly attest to the performance of both ‘new’ and the ‘old’ tragedies, they name the plays staged only rarely. Other types of records, however, allow us to identify the plays that formed the repertoire of later actors. While the performance reception of newly composed dramas remains elusive, especially after the Early Hellenistic period, ancient theatres did continue to host tragedies that premiered in the fifth and fourth centuries, and Euripides’ plays are prominent among them. Actors ensured their survival among the larger public, and their performances helped create a shared cultural heritage.
