Introduction: Modern Greek theatre on the threshhold of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries

Abstract

The 1990s witnessed a major turning point in the development of modern Greek

theatre. Researchers of the last period of the twentieth century and the beginning

of this century have observed not only a complex concentration of agitation,

transformation and transition, but also moments of uncertainty; a composition

of contrasting new phenomena mixed with old theatrical practices, and

promising innovative beginnings accompanied by regression. This landscape

clearly reflects the dynamic developments in Greek political and national life.
