Greek Tragic Theatre

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.Rehm, Rush is the author of 'Greek Tragic Theatre' with ISBN 9780415118941 and ISBN 0415118948.
