Oliver Taplin's seminal study was revolutionary in drawing out the
significance of stage action in Greek tragedy at a time when plays
were often read purely as texts, rather than understood as
performances. Professor Taplin explores nine plays, including
Aeschylus' agamemnon and Sophocles' Oedipus the King. The details
of theatrical techniques and stage directions, used by playwrights
to highlight key moments, are drawn out and related to the meaning
of each play as a whole. With extensive translated quotations, the
essential unity of action and speech in Greek tragedy is
demonstrated. Now firmly established as a classic text, Greek
Tragedy in Action is even more relevant today, when performances of
Greek tragedies and plays inspired by them have had such an
extraordinary revival around the world.
