{"product_id":"greek-tragedy-in-action-1","title":"Greek Tragedy in Action","description":"\u003cp\u003eOliver 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.\u003cbr\u003eProfessor Taplin explores nine plays, including Aeschylus' \u003cem\u003eagamemnon\u003c\/em\u003e and Sophocles' \u003cem\u003eOedipus the King\u003c\/em\u003e. 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.\u003cbr\u003eNow firmly established as a classic text, \u003cem\u003eGreek Tragedy in Action\u003c\/em\u003e is even more relevant today, when performances of Greek tragedies and plays inspired by them have had such an extraordinary revival around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54239675285848,"sku":"9781138834200","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138834200.jpg?v=1768567545","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/greek-tragedy-in-action-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
