Seeing Greek Choruses Everywhere

Ben Brantley: “Have you heard from the members of the chorus lately? Sure you have. They’re the ones who huddle in the office cafeteria, speculating on how long that arrogant new boss will last. Who sit before giant screens in sports bars lamenting the fall of a once mighty pitcher. … They have also been hanging out on amphitheater and proscenium stages for 2000 years or so … [and they] are still very much with us in the theater, though they don’t always identify themselves as such.”
