Gli antichi e la nascita del teatro moderno. La tragedia

Through the passage of time, comedy and tragedy emerge as timeless guides of Western culture, inviting us to look beyond the threshold of antiquity and recognise their constant influence on modern theatre. From the works of Plautus, Terence and Seneca to Goldonian and Shakespearean theatre, passing through the Italian Renaissance and beyond, we trace the main stages of the Fortleben of ancient theatre right up to the birth of modern theatre.
