Book Description Condition: New. University of Chicago Press, Chicago/London, 2007. XIX,226p. Cloth wrps. 'The case the author makes, and in exhaustive detail, play by play, is that to appreciate these ancient works as theatre and not just as stylised and somewhat remote literary creations, we must try to visualise exactly what was happening in the 'playing space', generally the 'orchêstra', and the physical and visual interactions between what he with somewaht annoying consistency refers to as the 'actors/characters' and the 'choros'. (.) His subtext is that this requires us to grasp more fully than we generally do that the chorus contributes much to the action and, conversely, that the actors not only often sing but also - and this may cause some surprise - dance as well. (.) L. is to be commended for reviving interest in a topic which has fallen somewhat into neglect: the significant contribution made by the chorus to the dramatic action in additio to their danced lyric segments. he argues his case vigorously and with conviction, and I for one am prepared to accept it.'
