The aim of this paper is to analyse Aristotle's dialogue Protrepticus, underlining the continuity and indicating the differences with Plato's dialogues. The starting point of the reflection is the observation that this type of works in both authors were plays, even if their intention was not to stage them. The analysis of theatre in the Poetics, the constitutive theatricality of the resources used in the discourse of the rhetoricians and sophists, as they are studied in the Rhetoric, and the importance of the integration of previous knowledge in the same reflection through the concept of endoxa show that the theatrical permeates Aristotle's thought in a broader sense than just the use of the dialogical form.
