How Greek Tragedy Works is a journey through the hidden meanings
and dual nature of Greek tragedy, drawing on its foremost
dramatists to bring about a deeper understanding of how and why to
engage with these enduring plays. Brian Kulick dispels the
trepidation that many readers feel with regard to classical texts
by equipping them with ways in which they can unpack the hidden
meanings of these plays. He focuses on three of the key texts of
Greek theatre: Aeschylus' Agamemnon, Euripides' The Bacchae, and
Sophocles' Electra, and uses them to tease out the core principles
of the theatre-making and storytelling impulses. By encouraging us
to read between the lines like this, he also enables us to read
these and other Greek tragedies as artists' manifestos, equipping
us not only to understand tragedy itself, but also to interpret
what the great playwrights had to say about the nature of plays and
drama. This is an indispensable guide for anyone who finds
themselves confronted with tackling the Greek classics, whether as
a reader, scholar, student, or director.
