Description

Translated from the original Greek, Cambridge Translations from Greek Drama aims to bring students of Classical Civilisation and Drama courses as close as possible to the playwright’s original words and intentions. The editors combine wide experience of Classics teaching with work in the theatre, ensuring that the translations are both accurate and suitable for performance. Students are encouraged to discover the plays for themselves by exploring their dramatic qualities through practical exercises and by experimenting with the expressive use of voice, movement, mime and musical accompaniment.These editions contain helpful editorial material, including references to Greek religion, mythology, politics and morals.
