Theatre and the State, The: Archaeological Reconstruction
- Synopsis
- Where and how were the plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides performed? What did theatre mean to the Greeks? Chris Emlyn-Jones looks at archaeological evidence in Athens, Epidaurus and Thorikos - and the evidence of painted vases from museums around the world, to reconstruct a sense of the importance of Greek drama in the 5th century.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
