Fascinating Stuff,
By A Customer
This review is from: Greek and Roman Theater (World History Series) (Library Binding)
I am an aspiring actor and love to read about the history of theater. The title of this book caught my eye when I was scanning Amazon's listings for books about theater history, so I got a copy. I have to admit that I didn't know all that much about ancient theater before reading it. It really opened my eyes. It is really a kind of revalation to find out that almost every aspect of modern theater, including playwriting, acting, costumes, and so on were pioneered by the ancient Greeks. According to the author (Don Nardo) they even came up with the idea of theater tickets. It kind of humbles you to think there's really not much new under the sun, as the old saying goes. The sections of the book on Roman theater are REALLY fascinating. I can definitely recomend this book to all theater students or those who admire acting, plays, and movies.
