4.0 out of 5 stars
Classical are these classics.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Classical Tragedy - Greek and Roman: Eight Plays in Authoritative Modern Translations (Paperback)
Robert Corrigan has put together an amazing collection of classical plays. The translations are modern without losing the savvy and content of their original. This edition is sparse in stage directions which is the way it should remain. It was a real predilection for the modern translations to bear psychological truths and encript Stanislavskian drives to explain every character motivation. The correspondant critical essays are exciting to read and a perfect addition for students of Greek theatre.
