"As a classicist and theater director, Rehm (Stanford) is well suited to offer an insightful analysis of Greek tragedy that emphasizes aspects of performance. In this second edition of Greek Tragic Theatre (CH, Mar'93, 30-3724), the author offers limited changes: though the notes have been thoroughly updated, the sections and chapter titles are identical in both editions."
- S. E. Goins, McNeese State University "This new edition will be a great resource and an enjoyable read for anyone interested in Greek tragic theatre. As both scholar and actor/director, Rush Rehm knows the right questions to ask, and his answers are richly informative and thought-provoking."

"In a thriving time of general introductions on Greek tragedy, Rehms Understanding Greek Tragic Theatre stands out as a non-conventional account of tragic theatre, making it lively reading for scholars and students alike. In this volume, Rehm presents a coherent and fascinating reading of Athenian tragedy and theatre as part and parcel of a "performance culture", a working definition that Rehm had the merit to put to good use before, as he reminds his readers, it became a cliché on fifth-century Athens ... Rehm offers a fresh and engaged look at the dynamics of Athenian tragic theatre."
