Alan Hughes presents a new complete account of production methods
in Greek comedy. The book summarizes contemporary research and
disputes, on such topics as acting techniques, theater 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 theater, 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 theater history, literature, classics and
drama. Overall, the book provides a fresh practical insight into
this continually developing subject.
