An essay published in the Fall 2010/Spring 2011 special double issue of Comparative Drama has been awarded the 2012 Philadelphia Constantinidis Critical Theory Award for Best Essay. This award recognizes the best comparative essay on any aspect and period of Greek drama or theater published in English in any journal or anthology in any country during the previous year.
