There was a very impressive production of Agamenon at Stratford years ago (late 70's) where the cothurni were close to a six inch lift and the mask with a headpiece or ankus extended height close to a foot. There were arm extensions as well. This gave the appearance of the actors being like statues close to eight feet in height; certainly larger than life. Those ancient theatres were quite large and this helped those seated in the last rows.

My hubby and a high school buddy were chased by a junkyard dog one night. They both were wearing platform shoes--it wasn't a pretty sight.

You mean, they didn't make it on those shoes? I bet they didn't. Is he still wearing the scars? ;-)
