(Dis)placing Classical Greek Theatre

"This volume represents something vital and alive; for it not only reconstructs the act of mnemosyne, but also the act of forgetting, so that reinvention may become the stuff true historical moments are made of. How else can the staging of Greek Tragedy deconstruct -something only the theatre knows how to do effortlessly- the very scholarship that reinvents it? The richness of this volume, in scholarship, in theatre testaments, in performance reconstructions and appreciations and in challenging theoretical statements, makes it indispensable to the field. The breadth and depth of the work being produced in this field today is truly astonishing, and it is everywhere evident in these pages. Such work has never been available in the past in so much variety, and never outside highly specialized journals". [Prof. John Chioles]
