Book Synopsis Performing Epic Or Telling Tales by : Fiona Macintosh
Book excerpt: From spoken word to ballet, ancient Greek and Roman epics regularly provide both the subjects and the form for emergent and seasoned theatre makers. This volume examines the 'why' of this epic turn, exploring not only the translation and scholarly histories of the epics, but also earlier performance traditions and recent theoretical debates.
