This review is from: The Attic Theatre: A Description of the Stage and Theatre of the Athenians, and of the Dramatic Performances at Athens (Library Binding)

This book is a wonderful representation of the Greek Attic theatre, as cited numerous times in Flickinger's "The Greek Theatre and It's Drama." Using a clear and straight-forward method of writing, the author clearly states all he needsto say from every angle possible. Using a plethera of quotations from specific plays that suit the situation of which he speaks, the author creates, in my opinion, one of the greatest resources about theatre in the antiquity.
