PERFORMING GREEK TRAGEDY: A DIRECTOR'S VIEWElric Hooper Wednesday 1.30-2.30 p.m,. From his experience in directing and performing in classical
Greek theatre, Elric Hooper makes observations on the difficulties and
delights in staging the tragedies for contemporary audiences. The decay
of cultural reference and the development of the post modern sensibility
create problems and liberties unknown to former generations of directors.
The importance of music and choreography which he places on the mounting
of the tragedies has been reinforced by Hooper's wide experience in
staging opera. Didaskalia Home Page / Journal / Issue 5.1 Table of Contents Didaskalia Volume 5 No. 1 - Summer 2001 / University of Warwick / edited by Hugh Denard and C.W.
