This blanced and highly successful collaboration of scholars with a theater director solves the contemporary problems of translating and staging the \u003ci\u003eOrestia, \u003c\/i\u003e which originally was written to be performed in Athens in the first half of the fifth century B.C. While remaning faithful to the original Greek, Grene and O'Flaherty embrace a strong and adventurous English style, vivid and visceral. The language of this extraordinary translation, immediately accessible to a theater audience, speaks across the centuries. Premiered at Chicago's Court Theater in 1986 under Rudall's direction, the stage adaptation of the \u003ci\u003eOrestia\u003c\/i\u003e proved eminently playable. This new adaptation of the orestia offers a brilliant demonstration of how clearly defined goals (here, the actor's needs) can inspire translators to produce fresh, genuine, accessible dramatic texts. The resulting work provides complete and accurate texts for those who cannot read the original Greek, and it transforms the \u003ci\u003eOrestia\u003c\/i\u003e into an effective modern stage play. With interpretive introductions written by the translators and director, this new version will be welcomed by teachers of translation courses, by students of Greek and world drama in general, and by theater professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new version of the Oresteia, with interpretive introductions written by the translators and director, will be welcome by teachers of translation courses and director, will be welcomed by teachers of translation courses, by students of Greek and world drama in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 257\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 8.52 x 5.52 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 15, 1989\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52502873833779,"sku":"9780226007724","price":53.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/WVJ6TzhDQXplZmFvYmhQYitIK3J3dz09.webp?v=1760158571","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-oresteia-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
