Drawing on recent archaeological investigations, new scholarship,
and the author's own original research and staging experience, this
book offers a new and fascinating picture of theatrical performance
in the ancient world. Richard Beacham traces the history of the
Roman theatre, from its origins in the fourth century B.C. to the
demise of formal theatrical activity at the end of antiquity. He
characterizes the comedy of Plautus and Terence and the audience to
which the Roman playwrights were appealing; describes staging,
scenery, costuming, and performance style; and details a variety of
theatrical forms, including comedy, tragedy, mime, pantomime, and
spectacles.
