BOOK SYNOPSIS
At the peak of its perfection in the fifth century B.C., the glory of classical Greek drama was matched by the magnificence of its costumes. Iris Brooke, the author of many lively books on fashion, describes how performers were dressed in plays by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, and explains how the actors' need for effective movement and performance influenced the cut of their costumes. Topics cover textiles and civil attire, armor, insignia of gods and goddesses, jewelry, masks, headdresses, and garments worn by the chorus. Unabridged republication of the volume originally published by Theatre Arts Books, New York, 1962. 53 black-and-white illustrations. Index.
