In this detailed analysis of the contentions and techniques of performance which characterised the Greek theatre of Menander and subsequent Roman theatre. David Wiles offers a radical new approach to reading play texts. He identifies the mask as crucial to the actor's art and examines other main elements which audiences learned to decode.
