In this book, the author discusses 40 Greek plays written during the period of nationalization, modernization, and Westernization of the Greeks roughly bounded by their War of Independence in the 1820s and the restoration of the nation-state as a republic in the 1970s. The playwrights are Evanthia Kairi, Dimitrios Hatziaslanis, Kalliroi Siganou-Parren, Costis Palamas, Nikos Kazantzakis, Angelos Sikelianos, Iakovos Kambanellis, Giorgos Skourtis, Costas Mourselas, Stratis Karras, Antonis Matesis, and Loula Anagnostaki. Special attention is paid to the dramas of Kairi, Siganou-Parren, and Anagnostaki, three women who made valuable contributions in articulating and reshaping the concept of Hellenism for their audiences; the author compares their plays to better known ones written by Greek and non-Greek male dramatists who were their contemporaries and dealt with similar issues.

While there is clearly no dearth of material on Greek theatre, until now no systematic effort has been made to integrate the Classical tradition with our modern perceptions and adaptations of it. Professor Walton's unique guide to Greek drama takes on this task, bringing together a wealth of information on Athenian tragedy and comedy as performed and appreciated in its own time and as embodied on the modern stage. The introductory section highlights some of the characteristic features of Greek tragedy and comedy and suggests how and under what conditions plays were first performed. The following section consists of analyses of the thirty-three surviving plays attributed to Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. Each essay provides information on dates, characters, size of roles, and plot, together with an assessment of staging problems and a review of dramatic and theatrical qualities. The section concludes with a discussion of the influence of Greek tragic tradition on Roman drama.

This Element examines practices that occurred since the beginning of the Greek crisis and revisits the mnemonic canon of the Greek War of Independence. By focusing on the institution of the mnemonic canon of independence, and subsequently on its contemporary re-imaginings, this Element interrogates performance work vis-à-vis Greece's histories of colonial dependencies – histories that are integral to the institution of modern Greece. As such, the examples discussed here rehearse independence against and beyond national(ist) fantasies and, in so doing, attest to an emerging desire for decolonisation.

This book examines classical Greek theatre, asking how ancient drama operated in performance and became such an influential social, cultural and political force. Meineck approaches Greek theatre from the perspective of the cognitive sciences as an embodied live enacted event, and analyses how different performative elements acted upon audiences to create absorbing narrative action, emotional intensity, intellectual reflection and empathy. This was the key to the transformative artistic and social power that enabled Greek drama to advance alternate viewpoints. He also explores what the model of Greek drama can reveal about live theatre's value in cultural, social and political discourse today.
