Description
‘These journals’, writes Diana Wood Conroy, ‘ extend over seven years, aspan of time in which it is said all the cells of the body are renewed.’ In 1995 Dr Wood Conroy took up work as artist-in-residence at the excavation of the Hellenistic-Roman theatre complex at Fabrika Hill in Paphos on the island of Cyprus. This, she says, was a transformative experience in her life; it is the thread that runs through these journals and the inspiration that led her to explore the ancient theatres of the same period in Egypt, Greece and Turkey. The Fabric of the Ancient Theatre is an imaginative journey through the evolution of the theatre that uncovers the complex and layered world of the Eastern Mediterranean, both ancient and modern.
