Look Inside a Greek Theatre

by PeterChrisp (Author), Adam Hook (Illustrator)

Synopsis

Take a look inside a theatre in ancient Greece. A poet crowned in an ivy wreath admires the play. Dancers cloaked in feathers twist and whirl, as an actor in the mask of a god falls from the heavens on a flying machine. This book describes the entertainments of the ancient Greeks through the objects found in a theatre. It contains a wealth of colour photographs, paintings and specially commissioned illustrations.

Media Reviews
'The idea of the 'Look Inside' series is elegant... The format is generous with contemporary prints and photographs, and eyewitness quotations (many of them footnoted, something unique in a book for this age group)... And where there is rich evidence, the past emerges in all its complexity.' -- Books for Keeps 20030103
