Hi!

So I answered this same exact question for someone a little while ago, I hope you don't mind I just copied my answer for them.

1a.) A Greek drama is a is a play which was performed in ancient Greece, most notably the tragedies.

1b.) The actors in Greek theater were called hypocrites, I believe. The Greek spelling the was "hypokrites"

1c.) The Greek word "hypokrite" is a compound word which translates to "an interpreter from underneath." This is because they performed while their faces were hidden underneath giant masks so the ancient audiences could easily tell characters apart.

1d.) aside from the actors there was a chorus, which explained necessary information to the audience, usually in song form. Eventually this evolved to be a more active role in the plays.

1e.) The plays were performed in open air theaters (theatron), the most famous of which is at the acropolis in Athens. They were shaped like a bowl for acoustics.

They also had parts 2-4 on there but I wasn't confident enough in my history of Ancient Greece to answer parts 3 & 4.
