Homo adaptans
The foundation of this journal always envisaged a broad and welcoming attitude to diverse studies of the principle of adaptation at work. That shaping principle can be found in the earliest evidence of human activity, and it may be constructive to understand human culture as the product of homo adaptans
Acting Greek Tragedy
Critical Essays on British South Asian Theatre
Rehearsing Aristophanes
British South Asian theatres and the global South Asian Diaspora
A material world
In a reading of scripts, costume and properties may be barely noticed, emerging sharply into view only when critical attention attributes to them a particular significance. In this chapter, I want to emphasize the material nature of classical theatre and to indicate the diversity of their use as essential components of all ancient performances. One approach to the ancient dramatic texts that survive is to consider them as language intended to be …
The Cambridge Companion to Greek and Roman Theatre
This series of essays by prominent academics and practitioners investigates in detail the history of performance in the classical Greek and Roman world. Beginning with the earliest examples of 'dramatic' presentation in the epic cycles and reaching through to the latter days of the Roman Empire and beyond, this 2007 Companion covers many aspects of these broad presentational societies. Dramatic performances that are text-based form only one part …
A Short Introduction to the Ancient Greek Theater
The Theatricality of Greek Tragedy
Modern Visions of Greek Tragic Dancing
Dancing must be an integral part of our understanding of Greek tragedy as a form of dance drama, but its reconstruction is obscure. The methodology of significant proposals made in the modern period by researchers Lawler, Webster, and Prud-hommeau is placed under critical scrutiny in this essay, with important ancient terms examined, and a broad problematic exposed
Sophocles, Four Dramas of Maturity
A Short Introduction to the Ancient Greek Theater
Contemporary productions on stage and film, and the development of theater studies, have created a new audience for ancient Greek drama. This volume fills the need for a clear, concise statement of what is known about the original conditions of production for tragedy, comedy, and satyr play in the age of Pericles and provides observations on all aspects of performance. Reexamining the surviving plays of the tragic writers Aeschylus, Sophocles, an…
On the Pressure of Circumstance in Greek Tragedy
It is an unfortunate weakness of most of the standard textbooks on Greek tragedy that they fail to communicate the immediacy of pressure that is of its essence. This particular inadequacy has hardly been corrected by the recent spate of books on either staging or the visual presentation of plays, which suggest themselves now as the standard adjustment to existing handbooks for students with or without the language. One of the few certainties we h…
The Orchestra as Acting Area in Greek Tragedy
For some years past there has been a welcome change of emphasis towards the consideration of staging in books published on Greek tragedy; and yet with that change also a curious failure to be explicit about the central problem connected with all stagecraft, namely that of the acting-area. In this study two scholars with considerable experience of teaching classical drama in performance consider this problem of the acting-area in close relation to…
