Book Synopsis The Philosophical Stage by : Joshua Billings
Download or read book The Philosophical Stage written by Joshua Billings and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bold new reconception of ancient Greek drama as a mode of philosophical thinking The Philosophical Stage offers an innovative approach to ancient Greek literature and thought that places drama at the heart of intellectual history. Drawing on evidence from tragedy and comedy, Joshua Billings shines new light on the development of early Greek philosophy, arguing that drama is our best source for understanding the intellectual culture of classical Athens. In this incisive book, Billings recasts classical Greek intellectual history as a conversation across discourses and demonstrates the significance of dramatic reflections on widely shared theoretical questions. He argues that neither "literature" nor "philosophy" was a defined category in the fifth century BCE, and develops a method of reading dramatic form as a structured investigation of issues at the heart of the emerging discipline of philosophy. A breathtaking work of intellectual history by one of today's most original classical scholars, The Philosophical Stage presents a novel approach to ancient drama and sets a path for a renewed understanding of early Greek thought.

Book Synopsis Children of the Sun by : Hilary Fannin
Download or read book Children of the Sun written by Hilary Fannin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-04-26 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am attempting to colonise the last frontier. Time, Elena, time. If we could inhabit different iterations of self, we could undo all the mistakes of the past. Don't you see? Hilary Fannin's radical adaptation of Maxim Gorky's classic 1905 dark comedy reworks the original text and draws it into the here and now. Children of the Sun is the story of a small family and their quixotic collection of acquaintances, entertaining and enraging each other while, unseen beyond their fragile walls, their world is being reshaped by unstoppable forces. The play asks how we survive without the benefit of hindsight and whether science, art or love are capable of saving us from uncertainty and destruction. Co-produced by Rough Magic and the Abbey Theatre, Children of the Sun premiered on the Abbey stage as part of Rough Magic's 40th-anniversary year in April 2024. This edition was published to coincide with that production.

Book Synopsis The Classics in the American Theater of the 1960s and Early 1970s by : Marianthe Colakis
Download or read book The Classics in the American Theater of the 1960s and Early 1970s written by Marianthe Colakis and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces modern versions and adaptations of Greek tragedies in the recent past. The author provides a survey of the most significant and characteristic drama and shows how classically-based dramas reflected the chaotic decade in which they had been written, both through their form and the artist's vision they depicted. After the culture of the 1950s had embraced Freudian language and comfort so readily, the departure from this norm in the 1960s left the ancient heroes and heroines free to be "themselves" again. This decade was more hospitable to a dark view of life as the playwright moved away from the fate of the individual towards the fate of humankind as a whole. The widespread mistrust of technology as a solution to problems led to a romantic vision of primitive life and the recreation of the power in Greek tragedy by re-introducing its supposed ritual origins. Plays discussed include: The Prodigal by Jack Richardson, Prometheus Bound by Robert Lowell, Heracles by Archibald MacLeish, Dionysus in '69 by The Performance Group, Antigone by The Living Theatre, and The Orphan by David Rabe.
