This book aims to give a visual idea of what the dramatic performances of the ancient Greek world looked like from their beginnings down to the Hellenistic periods by means of a series of 200 illustrations (several published here for the first time), taken for the most part from Greek vase-paintings, which either actually represent, or else were directly inspired by, pre-dramatic or dramatic productions. The introduction makes reference to the patrons for whom these works of art were made and then deals with the theatre, costumes, scenery, etc. in Attica and South Italy in successive periods.
