This series of essays by prominent academics and practitioners investigates in detail the history of performance in the classical Greek and Roman world. Beginning with the earliest examples of dramatic presentation in the epic cycles and reaching through to the latter days of the Roman Empire and beyond; this 2007 Companion covers many aspects of these broad presentational societies. Dramatic performances that are text-based form only one part of cultures where presentation is a major element of all social and political life. Individual chapters range across a two thousand year timescale; and include specific chapters on acting traditions; masks; properties; playing places; festivals; religion and drama; comedy and society; and commodity; concluding with the dramatic legacy of myth and the modern media. The book addresses the needs of students of drama and classics; as well as anyone with an interest in the theatres history and practice.

Excellent productBy Cynthia BowmanBeautifully done and will prove to be useful to me as an artist. A pleasure to look through the book.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Everything I expectedBy A. GjenyThis is a beautiful book; printed on exquisite quality paper. Designs are printed on just one side of each page/sheet - so you can cut out and use if you wish; or just keep as a resource for decorating inspiration.I bought this for the following purposes: make bookmarks (and give as presents inside gift books); make gift card; make greeting cards; decorate a picture or mat in a frame; create a mat for a picture; frame a print on its own; use in scrapbooking; use for design inspiration (e.g.; hand-painting pillows or fabric; or to choose color palette for a room).Im sure Ill think of more!Really worth the $$. Buy it! Cut out some pages/designs and use them! You wont regret it!
