Book Synopsis Objects as Actors by : Melissa Mueller
Book excerpt: 'Objects as Actors' charts a new approach to Greek tragedy based on an obvious, yet often overlooked, fact: Greek tragedy was meant to be performed. As plays, the works were incomplete without physical items - theatrical props. The author shows the importance of objects in the staging and reception of Athenian tragedy.
