Description

This title offers an accessible survey into the place and purpose of theatre in Ancient Greece. It provides a comprehensive author-by-author examination of the surviving plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes and Menander, as well as giving an insight into how and where the plays were performed, who acted them out and who watched them. It includes a discussion of the function of the essential characteristics of Greek drama, including verse, rhetoric, music, comedy and chorus. Above all it offers a viewpoint on the everyday values of the ancient Greeks; values with a continuing influence over the theatre of the modern day.

Once a full-time translator, author and dramatist, he published extensively including The Good Reading Guide, Shakespeare's People, The Theatre of Aristophanes, Companion to the Arts in the Twentieth Century, Myth, The Listener's Guide to Classical Music and Crucial Classics (both with Valerie McLeish) and The Bloomsbury Guide to Human Thought (as general editor). His original plays and his translations - from ancient Greek drama, as well as from Strindberg, Ibsen Moliere and Strindberg - have been widely performed, most notably by the National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company.
