  Contemporary productions on stage and film, and the development of theater studies, continue to draw new audiences to ancient Greek drama. With observations on all aspects of performance, this volume fills their need for a clear, concise account of what is known about the original conditions of such productions in the age of Pericles.  Reexamining the surviving plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes, Graham Ley here discusses acting technique, scenery, the power and range of the chorus, the use of theatrical space, and parody in their plays. In addition to photos of scenes from Greek vases that document theatrical performance, this new edition includes notes on ancient mime and puppetry and how to read Greek playtexts as scripts, as well as an updated bibliography. An ideal companion to The Complete Greek Tragedies, also published by the University of Chicago Press, Ley’s work is a concise and informative introduction to one of the great periods of world drama. "Anyone faced with Athenian tragedy or comedy for the first time, in or out of the classroom, would do well to start with A Short Introduction to Ancient Greek Theater."—Didaskalia

  THE WOLF OF WALL STREET 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY MARTIN SCORSESE 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  The Wolf of Wall Street is a biographical black comedy directed by Martin Scorsese, based on the memoir of stockbroker Jordan Belfort. The film follows Belfort’s rise in the world of finance, from working at a modest brokerage firm to founding his own company, Stratton Oakmont. The movie delves into his life of excess, corruption, and debauchery, highlighting themes of greed, moral decay, and the corrupting influence of wealth. With fast-paced storytelling, dark humor, and sharp social commentary, the film critiques the culture of greed and the lengths people will go to achieve success at any cost. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “The actors used crushed B vitamins as a stand-in for cocaine in scenes where the characters snort drugs. Jonah Hill later had to be hospitalized due to bronchitis after excessive inhalation during the filming.” 
    
  “Martin Scorsese’s films often feature improvisation, and The Wolf of Wall Street was no different. A large portion of the movie was improvised by the actors, as Scorsese encourages it during production.” 
    
  “Jonah Hill took a significant pay cut to be part of the film, earning only the minimum salary from the Screen Actors Guild, which was $60,000. This decision was driven by his desire to work with Martin Scorsese.”

  Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited

  Highway 61 Revisited resonates because of its enduring emotional appeal. Few songwriters before Dylan or since have combined so effectively the intensely personal with the spectacularly universal. In ""Like a Rolling Stone,"" his gleeful excoriation of Miss Lonely (Edie Sedgwick? Joan Baez? a composite ""type""?) fuses with the evocation of a hip new zeitgeist to produce a veritable anthem. In ""Ballad of a Thin Man,"" the younger generation's confusion is thrown back in the Establishment's face, even as Dylan vents his disgust with the critics who labored to catalogue him. And in ""Desolation Row,"" he reaches the zenith of his own brand of surrealist paranoia, that here attains the atmospheric intensity of a full-fledged nightmare. Between its many flourishes of gallows humor, this is one of the most immaculately frightful songs ever recorded, with its relentless imagery of communal executions, its parade of fallen giants and triumphant local losers, its epic length  and even the mournful sweetness of Bloomfield's flamenco-inspired fills.In this book, Mark Polizzotti examines just what makes the songs on Highway 61 Revisited so affecting, how they work together as a suite, and how lyrics, melody, and arrangements combine to create an unusually potent mix. He blends musical and literary analysis of the songs themselves, biography (where appropriate) and recording information (where helpful). And he focuses on Dylan's mythic presence in the mid-60s, when he emerged from his proletarian incarnation to become the American Rimbaud. The comparison has been made by others, including Dylan, and it illuminates much about his mid-sixties career, for in many respects Highway 61 is rock 'n' roll's answer to A Season in Hell.
