It brings together key specialists around the region with well-established international scholars on theatre and the Black Sea, from a wide range of disciplines, especially archaeology, drama and history. In that way the wealth of material found around these great coasts is brought together with the best methodology in all fields of study. This landmark book broadens the whole concept and range of theatre outside Athens. It shows ways in which the colonial world of the Black Sea may be compared importantly with Southern Italy and Sicily in terms of theatre and performance. At the same time, it shows too how the Black Sea world itself can be better understood through a focus on the development of theatre and performance there, both among Greeks and among their local neighbours Notes Most of the contributions were originally presented at a conference of the same name held at King's College London on 4-5 July 2014 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 490-541) and index Notes Print version record Subject Theater -- Black Sea Coast -- History -- To 1500 -- Congresses Greek drama -- History and criticism -- Congresses Greek drama -- Themes, motives -- Congresses Antiquities Civilization Greek drama Intellectual life Literature Theater SUBJECT Black Sea Coast -- Intellectual life -- Congresses Black Sea Coast -- In literature -- Congresses Greece -- Civilization -- To 146 B.C. -- Congresses Black Sea Coast -- Civilization -- Congresses Black Sea Coast -- Antiquities -- Congresses Subject Asia -- Black Sea Coast Greece Genre/Form proceedings (reports) Conference papers and proceedings Criticism, interpretation, etc. History Conference papers and proceedings.
