Description

Understanding Greek Tragic Theatre is a revised edition that examines how Greek tragedy functioned in its original fifth-century Athenian context. Author Rush Rehm analyses the performance practices and staging of ancient Greek plays, offering classicists, actors, and directors practical insights into approaching these works authentically. The book emphasises tragedy's political significance as a theatre of, by, and for the polis, positioning Athens as a performance culture where theatre served as a vital public forum alongside other institutions. By exploring the original conditions under which tragedies were created and performed, this study reveals how playwrights addressed matters of civic importance and contemporary concern. The revised edition builds on the foundation of the 1992 original, providing updated scholarship and fresh perspectives on how Greek tragedy functioned as both art form and democratic discourse.
