TO HELLAS AND BACK

‘To Hellas and Back’ is a program of two famous Greek classics, with a slight twist, presented by the 2nd year acting students of the Advanced Diploma in Arts (Acting).

GREEK by Steven Berkoff
skinheads, politics and the story of Oedipus

This is Steven Berkoff’s contemporary spin on the Oedipus myth. Berkoff sets his play in Thatcher’s Britain – a time of political dissent and economic hardship. GREEK is an hilarious dark comedy presented in a broad physical performance style and enhanced by the use of language which varies from cockney slang to lyrical poetry.

AGAMEMNON’S DAUGHTER adapted by David Brown
deceit, murder and family secrets

This play is a contemporary adaptation of two Greek tragedies by Euripides and Aeschylus. The play also includes three chorus pieces from the opera ‘Iphigenia’ by Gluck. It is the story of King Agamemnon’s fateful decision to sacrifice his daughter to the Gods before sailing to do battle against Troy.
