This work explores the ways Euripides utilises the latter to make a point: to underline some issue, to suggest a contrast, or to shift the focus of the drama. Specifically, Halleran investigates the rearrangement of characters on stage at the major structural junctures of the play: entrances and their announcements; preparation for and surprise in entrances; and dramatic connections between exits and entrances. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree plays from the same era – \u003ci\u003eHerakles\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e Trojan Women \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eIon\u003c\/i\u003e – are discussed in greater detail to reveal the potential of this approach for illuminating Euripides’ ‘grammar of dramatic technique’. \u003ci\u003eStagecraft in Euripides \u003c\/i\u003ewill thus appeal to students of theatre and drama as well as classicists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45565033775342,"sku":"9780415744409","price":184.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415744409.jpg?v=1720674664","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/stagecraft-in-euripides-routledge-revivals-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
