Comic Business situates Aristophanic comedy in the context of
competitive (re)performance culture in 5th- and 4th-century Greece.
It seeks to illuminate how the dazzling busyness of Aristophanic
comedy is the creation of a carefully manipulating craftsman trying
to outdo his rivals in the fierce competition of the dramatic
festivals. Theoretically informed by theatre semiotics and
frame-based models of conceptualizing the theatrical event, it
analyzes in a number of case studies how theatrical resources of
all kinds are utilized in order to generate theatrical meaning as
well as capture and sustain audience interest. The approach
therefore combines philological analysis with methodologies
developed in Theatre Studies. Special attention is given to the
visual dimension of theatrical communication. Material from
comparator traditions is brought to bear, as is the evidence of the
pictorial record.
