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, these subjects have been relatively neglected by academic investigation and discussion. The Roman Theatre and its Audience 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 that 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. As the work of a theatre historian and theatre practitioner, it synthesizes and extends earlier studies which have analysed the Roman theatre from particular perspectives of philology, literary criticism or archaeology. Its discussion of the vexed subject of Roman scenic practice is particularly intriguing, as is the detailed account of how a typical Roman comedy functions in performance.
