Description
Staging Greek tragedy today requires a deep understanding of the ancient works and their performance contexts. Renowned classicist Simon Goldhill provides a comprehensive guide to overcoming the challenges of producing these masterpieces in modern settings. Goldhill tackles six major problems facing companies performing Greek tragedy, including staging space and concept, the use of the chorus, and the actor's role in unfamiliar styles of performance. He draws on his expertise and analysis of recent productions in the US, Britain, and Continental Europe to offer insightful solutions to these difficulties. By exploring what makes each issue a pressing concern for modern companies, Goldhill illuminates the complexities of tragedy and provides valuable guidance for directors and performers seeking to bring ancient Greek works to life.
