The Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama (APGRD) is a research project based at the University of Oxford founded in 1996 by Edith Hall and Oliver Taplin. The APGRD's focus is the study of performances of ancient drama and epic worldwide, ranging from the original performances in antiquity to the present day.〔 It also runs a number of programmes promoting new writing and performance, including the 2005-2011 Onassis Programme, which commissioned, developed and produced professional work from artists from around the world, including Seamus Heaney and Derek Walcott. The APGRD was praised by Oxford University for its engagement with authors, directors and other theatre practitioners, and was selected as one of the university's ''Impacts'' showcase projects for helping to "sustain the distinctive and dynamic nature of the UK theatre".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Oxford Impacts: Influencing Contemporary Theatre Practice )〕 The project’s publications have been described as playing "a pivotal role in establishing the parameters and methodologies of the study of the reception of Classical drama in performance".〔Hallie Rebecca Marshall, ''(Bryn Mawr Classical Review )'', 11 September 2006.〕 == Archival collections == The APGRD maintains and preserves a number of archival collections. The centrepiece is the APGRD's own research archive, a collection of material relating to modern performances of ancient drama. The APGRD also holds a number of other collections, including: * ''The Leyhausen-Spiess Collection'' - the collected papers of German director and academic Wilhelm Leyhausen,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Monumental texts in ruins: Greek tragedy in Greece and Michael Mamarinos's modern stagings )〕 founder of the Delphic Institute.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Choric‐speaking in Greek tragedies performed by students )〕 * ''The David Raeburn Collection'' - a collection of papers and records (including promptbooks) belonging to classicist and translator David Raeburn, who also produced the Bradfield School Greek play. * ''The Abd'Elkader Farrah collection'' - designs and artwork for several of the Greek and Shakespearian productions of the Algerian theatre designer Abd'Elkader Farrah (also known as Abdel Farrah).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Message of Sympathy from Khalida Toumi to the children of Abdelkader Farrah )〕 In addition, the APGRD's performance database has records covering more than 10,000 modern productions of ancient drama and epic. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
