Theatre was at the very heart of culture in Graeco-Roman
civilizations and its influence permeated across social and class
boundaries. The theatrical genres of tragedy, comedy, satyr play,
mime and pantomime operate in Antiquity alongside the conception of
theatre as both an entertainment for the masses and a vehicle for
intellectual, political and artistic expression. Drawing together
contributions from scholars in classics and theatre studies, this
volume uniquely examines the Greek and Roman cultural spheres in
conjunction with one another rather than in isolation. Each chapter
takes a different theme as its focus: institutional frameworks;
social functions; sexuality and gender; the environment of theatre;
circulation; interpretations; communities of production; repertoire
and genres; technologies of performance; and knowledge
transmission.
