SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"David Wiles introduces ancient Greek theatre to students and enthusiasts interested in knowing how the plays were first performed. The book assumes no prior knowledge of the ancient world, and is written to answer the questions of those who want to know how the plays were performed, what they meant in their original social context, what they might mean in a modern performance and what can be learned from and achieved by performances of Greek plays today."--Jacket
