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 Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46929887789207,"sku":"9780415744430","price":4565.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415744430.webp?v=1771603045","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/stagecraft-in-euripides-routledge-revivals-9780415744430","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
