      abstract = {"Alan Hughes presents a new complete account of production  methods in Greek comedy. The book summarises contemporary  research and disputes, on such topics as acting techniques,  theatre buildings, masks and costumes, music and the  chorus. Evidence is re-interpreted and traditional doctrine  overthrown. Comedy is presented as the pan-Hellenic, visual  art of theatre, not as Athenian literature. Recent  discoveries in visual evidence are used to stimulate  significant historical revisions. The author has directly  examined 350 vase scenes of comedy in performance and  actor-figurines, in 75 collections, from Melbourne to St  Petersburg. Their testimony is applied to acting techniques  and costumes, and women's participation in comedy and mime.  The chapters are arranged by topic, for convenient  reference by scholars and students of theatre history,  literature, classics and drama. Overall, the book provides  a fresh practical insight into this continually developing  subject"--},
