Final answer:
Ancient Greek theatre is characterized by a single, static location and few scenes, different from the Elizabethan theatre's complex staging and the Restoration's elaborate scenery.
Step-by-step explanation:
The theatre time period and culture that used one location and only a few scenes in their plays is Ancient Greek theatre. Unlike the heavily staged Elizabethan theatre with its thrust stages and multiple scenes, or the Restoration theatre that introduced elaborate scenery after 1660 under Charles II's influence, Ancient Greek theatre relied on a single, static location and limited scenery changes.
Historically, Greek plays were presented in large amphitheatres, using the orchestra (the circular floor space) and a single backdrop of a skene (a building used as a dressing room and also often as a background setting). The simplicity and unity of place were hallmarks of the classical Greek stage, in stark contrast to the evolving scenery and stagecraft of later periods such as the Elizabethan and Restoration eras.
