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.

Review
3 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Art in the CourtroomBy A CustomerThis is a fascinating book about five different art trials dealing with various issues. (It has been reviewed as a book about copyright law; but this is a small part of it. The trials deal with the artists; Koons; Warhol; Serra; Finley and Wojnarowicz.The book has fascinating details about the various trials that can not be found in other places. It is full of intereesting facts; like Warhol had 90;000 pieces of his own art in his estate. The valuation hearing described Christies method of appraisal; etc.This is a book worth having if you are seriously interested in contmporary art.I enjoyed it and I would guess that others would as well.
