Reviews

The volume has much to recommend it both for theatre historians and for those whose focus is on the contemporary reception of ancient drama. * Emma Bridges and Henry Stead, Greece & Rome * ...the book deserves to be essential reading for those interested in the postdramatic, the tragic, and classical reception more broadly * David Bullen, New Theatre Quarterly *
