Staging Ancient Greek Plays: A Practical Guide
Autor Michael Ewansen Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 oct 2023
Considering the conditions of ancient Greek performance and the conventions of the Greek theatre, the book examines large questions, including those related to ancient Greek values, myth and the individual ('characterization'), and the gods and fate - all of which must be taken into consideration when approaching a contemporary production.
This practical guide also explores with analysed examples, the issues that today's theatre-makers should consider in order to successfully stage ancient Greek drama.
These topics include:
- choice of translation
- setting
- costumes
- masks
- mode of delivery
- acting style for both tragedy and comedy
- handling of the chorus
- solutions to staging Greek drama

Recenzii
An excellent handbook for whoever is looking to delve deeper into the culture and the theatre tradition that created some of the most iconic characters and plays ever written. Ewans' insightful introduction prepares and empowers aspiring practitioners for their exploration of ancient Greek drama.
This is, happily, a comprehensive handbook and an excellent factotum guide for anyone thinking of trying to convey an ancient Greek comedy or tragedy on the modern stage. It is aimed squarely at the dramatic practitioner rather than the academic Classicist.
