This inquiry identifies the components of this “problem” and studies the solutions offered by two American theater companies: a) Gorilla Theatre Productions founded and headed by Artistic Director David Brisco Luby from 1991 to 2014 and b) The Classic Greek Theatre of Oregon originally headed by director and adaptor Keith Scales, 1993 to 2008. Using photographs, video recordings, statements by the directors, and critical performance reviews this inquiry details how the tragic chorus was realized by American theater companies for American audiences from 1991 to 2014. 2019-08-29 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu155534000939454 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu155534000939454 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
