Acting Greek Tragedy explores the dynamics of physical interaction
and the dramaturgical construction of scenes in ancient Greek
tragedy. Ley argues that spatial distinctions between ancient and
modern theatres are not significant, as core dramatic energy can be
placed successfully in either context. Guiding commentary on
selected passages from Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides
illuminates the problems involved with performing monologue,
dialogue, scenes requiring three actors, and scenes with
properties. A companion website - actinggreektragedy.com - offers
recorded illustrations of scenes from the Workshops. What the book
offers is a practical approach to the preparation of Greek scripts
for performance. The translations used have all been tested in
workshops, with those of Euripides newly composed for this book.
