Description

Performing Greek Drama in Oxford is an absorbing celebration of how classical Greek drama has been performed and received in Oxford over centuries. Amanda Wrigley traces enduring connections between ancient theatrical traditions and modern dramatic performance, examining landmark productions from the 16th century through the 1970s. This performance history illuminates contemporary responses to significant debates about women students in theatre, the perceived risks of undergraduate acting, and the role of classics within the university curriculum. The book offers scholars, theatre enthusiasts, and students of classical performance a detailed exploration of how Oxford's dramatic traditions shaped interpretations of Greek texts and reflected broader cultural concerns across different historical periods.
