Description

First edition of Le Théâtre Néo-Grec – Histoire Abrégée du Théâtre Néo-Grec, translated from Greek by Jean Gaitanos and published in Athens by Difros in 1956.

The volume includes 16 pages of photographic illustrations, offering valuable visual documentation of theatrical productions and key figures in modern Greek stage history.
