"he used all of the oldest theater tricks in the book. Lights! Sets! Costumes! Entrances and exits! So much theater nowadays lacks...theatrics."

I think you might want to reconsider these statements. Lights, sets, and (elaborate) costumes are a relatively recent invention. And so are what I take to be the sort of theatrics you have in mind.

I love Foreman and think I saw every show he did at the O-H, but I think his theatrics bear no resemblance to the ancients.
