Greek Theatre Practice

by J. M. Walton

Overview

How did the ancient Greeks actually produce and stage the magnificent plays they wrote? This enduring question has intrigued classical scholars and theatre historians for centuries. in this study, Walton approaches the staging of these famous tragedies from a number of perspectives: from the first acting tradition to the power of masks and stage effects; but primarily as performance texts created for specific festival occasions.
