Description

The 101 Greatest Plays From Antiquity to the Present by Michael Billington This provocative and challenging new book offers a highly personal selection of the 101 greatest plays, ranging from ancient Greece to the present day. Michael Billington justifies his choices in extended essays that put the plays in context, explain their significance, and trace their performance history. Billington's book is a thought-provoking exploration of what makes a great play, and whether this definition changes over time and circumstance. With its stimulating arguments and debates, it will appeal to readers readers to make their own selections and consider the role of theatre in our lives. A lifetime of watching and reading plays informs Billington's essays, which offer a unique perspective on the art form. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in drama, literary criticism, or the performing arts.
