Understanding Greek Tragic Theatre is intended for those interested in how Greek tragedy works. Emphasizing the political nature of tragedy as a theatre of, by, and for the polis, Rehm characterizes Athens as a performance culture, one in which the theatre stood alongside other public forums as a place to confront matters of import and moment. In treating the various social, religious and practical aspects of tragic production, he shows how these elements promoted a vision of the theatre as integral to the life of the city - a theatre whose focus was on the audience.

Rezensionen
"As a classicist and theater director, Rehm (Stanford) is well suited to offer an insightful analysis of Greek tragedy that emphasizes aspects of performance. In this second edition of Greek Tragic Theatre (CH, Mar'93, 30-3724), the author offers limited changes: though the notes have been thoroughly updated, the sections and chapter titles are identical in both editions."
