Description

Explore the visual and performance-based world of classical Athens with this updated and extended edition of The Greek Sense of Theatre. Author and practitioner J. Michael Walton provides a deep look into the theatrical traditions of ancient Greece, moving beyond a purely literary perspective to examine how drama actually functioned on stage. This text covers the essential works of the era, including the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, alongside the comedies of Aristophanes and Menander. Walton argues for a better understanding of the stage image and the role of masked acting, helping readers connect with the physical reality of ancient performances. By focusing on both visual and aural elements, this book offers a unique way to study the history and criticism of Greek drama.
