In the Theatre of Dionysos: Democracy and Tragedy in Ancient Athens
Reading [this book] is like sitting down to a leisurely, open-ended chat--probably over a glass or two of scotch--with one of those passionate, marvelously well-informed, creative and freewheeling thinkers who manages also to be charming. There are insights here that I can't wait to put to use in my next directing project, and enthusiasm here that rejuvenates the reader for the daily business of living a good life and/or doing good theatre. --Shepard Sobel, Artistic Director, The Pearl Theatre Company, Inc.
