Rehm characterizes Athens as a performance culture where theatre stood alongside other public forums as a place to confront matters of import and moment.

Greek Tragic Theatre Summary

Greek Tragic Theatre by Rush Rehm (Stanford University, USA)

Emphasizing the political nature of Greek tragedy, as theatre of, by and for the polis, Rush Rehm characterizes Athens as a performance culture; one in which the theatre stood alongside other public forums as a place to confront matters of import. In treating the various social, religious and practical aspects of tragic production, he shows how these elements promoted a vision of the theatre as integral to the life of the city - a theatre focussed on the audience.

Greek Tragic Theatre Reviews

'The dramatic qualities of the plays which Rehm has selected as examples are carefully brought out by someone who clearly has a feel for both theatre and language.' - Theatre Research International

`A first class introduction to Greek tragedy...this book makes excellent reading for anyone interested in Greek tragedy: essential for all those new to the subject, but immensely valuable to everyone for its vivid and continual reminders of the realities of production.' - Greece and Rome
