The aside is a familiar convention in drama, but surprisingly
little has been written about it in connection with Greek theater,
where the aside originated and developed. In Actors and Audience,
David Bain traces the aside back to its earliest appearance in
Greek tragedy, examining its use in Euripides, Aeschylus and
Sophocles, before moving on to a consideration of Old Comedy
dramatists from Aristophanes to Menander, New Comedy, and Roman
Comedy. Throughout the book, Bain offers considerable insight into
how conventions mediate between author, actor and audience, helping
or hindering the degree to which spectators "participate" in the
stage action.
