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, whose focus was on the audience.Rehm, Rush is the author of 'Greek Tragic Theatre' with ISBN 9780415048316 and ISBN 0415048311.
