How long did plays last in dionysia festival?

Answer 1

Too long, in my opinion.

&I don't suggest ever watching a reenactment, you'll fall asleep.

Oh, and if anyone ever says "Oediphus Rex is my favorite dinosaur", punch then in the face and walk away really fast.

The information above is not very helpful .... the plays usually lasted for about 6 hours

Answer 2

In ancient Athens the City Dionysia, where all the tragedies and many comedies were performed, took place around the 9th-15th of Elephabolian. Athenian months began with the first day after the new moon and Elephabolian fell roughly in March.

On our modern calendar, this would correspond with the 5 days leading up to the full moon in March.

Answer 3

6 hours

Answer 4

5 days.
