Although Roman drama, stagecraft and theatre architecture had far greater influence upon the development of modern theatre than did the theatrical legacy of the Greeks, it has been so far neglected as a subject for academic investigation and discussion. This book traces the history of Roman theatre - from its origins in the fourth century BC to the demise of formal theatrical activity at the end of antiquity - with the purpose of identifying and describing theatre's most important characteristics and legacy. A major theme and focus of the study is the way in which the Roman audience both influenced and reacted to the nature and occasion of theatrical performance, and the insights which this aspect contributes to our understanding of Roman stagecraft. Dr Beacham has himself translated Roman drama and produced it for contemporary audiences upon a carefully researched reconstruction of the type of temporary stage on which such drama was first performed, and the book draws extensively on his first-hand experience.
