Thrust- stage with three-quarters seating is a platform stage with seating on three sides.-skene or stage house, back stage area, had formal doors as entrances and exits and also served as a background for the action and can hide things from audience.- This form combines some of the scenic features of the proscenium theatre with the intimacy of the arena stage- based on Greek stage-orchestra as a playing space-Chinese and Japanese drama are a form of thrust stage.-Platform stage/ trestle stage/ wagon stage has curtain at the back and underneath stage where devil could come out.-Because of limited space and audience is closer, designing thrust stage is harder than proscenium stage.15.
