The book summarises contemporary research and disputes, on such topics as acting techniques, theatre buildings, masks and costumes, music and the chorus. Evidence is re-interpreted and traditional doctrine overthrown. Comedy is presented as the pan-Hellenic, visual art of theatre, not as Athenian literature. Recent discoveries in visual evidence are used to stimulate significant historical revisions. The author has directly examined 350 vase scenes of comedy in performance and actor-figurines, in 75 collections, from Melbourne to St Petersburg. Their testimony is applied to acting techniques and costumes, and women's participation in comedy and mime. The chapters are arranged by topic, for convenient reference by scholars and students of theatre history, literature, classics and drama. Overall, the book provides a fresh practical insight into this continually developing subject. 606 $aTheater$zGreece$xHistory$yTo 500 606 $aGreek drama (Comedy)$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aTheater$xHistory 615 0$aGreek drama (Comedy)$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a792.2/30938 700 $aHughes$b Alan$f1939-$0125225 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461534603321 996 $aPerforming Greek comedy$92484390 997 $aUNINA
