Synopsis
Excerpt from The Relative Position of Actors and Chorus in the Greek Theatre of the Fifth Century
It has been assumed, and by many writers on the subject it is assumed to-day, that the great Athenian dramatists, Vitruvius, all the grammarians, lexicographers and scholiasts had before their eyes the same Greek theatre, which remained practically unchanged from the time of Aischylos to the days when Nero and Hadrian were spectators in the theatre of Dionysos. The 'vitruvian stage' has been accepted as the Greek stage for the entire period of the Greek drama, and the description of the Greek theatre by the same authority has been used as a Procrustes bed to which all plans of theatre ruins must in some way be made to conform.

The Relative Position of Actors and Chorus in the Greek Theatre of the Fifth
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the dramatic arts of the Greek theater from the perspective of extant plays and archaeological evidence. The author contends that these plays were not performed on a stage as believed by many but were acted within the orchestra space, a central, circular area. Through in-depth examination of these plays, the book examines the relationship between actors and chorus, the role of the orchestra as the primary performance space, and the nature of the stage-like structures found in Greek theaters. The book concludes that the Greek theater, as we know it, evolved over time, and the stage, as a distinct, elevated performance area, emerged later than the classical period, challenging the long-held belief that the plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides were performed on an elevated stage. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331977209_0
