Public and Performance in the Greek Theatre by Peter D Arnott

Public and Performance in the Greek Theatre by Peter D Arnott

Professor Arnott discusses the practical staging of Greek plays, and relates theatre practice to literary structure by demonstrating, for example, how the buildings themselves imposed particular constraints on actors and writers alike.

"His best work.. he brings to the texts a sense of vitality and immediacy that will delight and enlighten experts and novices alike ... an invaluable resource ... excellent text for all students ... Highly recommended, indeed a must, for all libraries."

- Choice

"Rather enjoyable ... will be of use to those involved in theatre, as well as to instructors at various levels and their students. Public and Performance may be recommended as an introduction to the theatricality of ancient plays for non-specialists."

- N. J. Sewell-Rutter, University Oxford, UK, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2018
