SUMMARY:UCL Classical Play 2019: Oedipus Rex
DESCRIPTION:New of UCL’s 2019 Classical Play… \nThe UCL Greek and Latin Department and the Bloomsbury Theatre present the Classical Play for 2019: Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex. \nGripped by plague\, the citizens of Thebes petition their king\, Oedipus\, to purify a divine pollution and appease the gods. Yet as he works to uncover the mysteries of a forgotten crime\, the horrifying truth of his own sordid past is brought out into the light for all to see\, and a terrible price is paid. Widely praised as having one of the greatest tragic plots ever written\, this production will recast Sophocles’ ancient masterpiece in a more familiar context\, featuring an original score and translation. Modern audiences will be confronted with the play’s timeless question: what is the cost of truth? \nBook for the lecture taking place before the show on 6th\, 7th & 8th February\, 6-7pm Lecture \nBook for the workshop with renowned director David Stuttard\, taking place on 8th February at 11am-1.30pm Workshop \nFURTHER DETAILS

SUMMARY:KCL Greek Play 2019: Antigone
DESCRIPTION:KCL brings Sophocles thrilling exploration of resistance and responsibility to life in a daring new production. Ancient questions are re-framed for the twenty-first century: when personal values clash with the government\, is duty to your beliefs or to the sanctity of the law more important? How acceptable is civil disobedience against an unchecked power? These questions play out in this battle of the individual against the state\, staged under the relentless scrutiny of twenty four hour news. Following the success of last years acclaimed production of Medea\, which played to over a thousand audience members across its run\, the 2019 Greek Play celebrates another defiant woman of Greek tragedy and will again be performed in a combination of ancient Greek and English. \nThe play will be performed at the Greenwood Theatre (55 Weston Street\, SE1 3RA) on the following dates and times: \n13 February – 2.30pm and 7pm\n14 February – 7pm\n15 February – 2.30pm and 7pm \nThere will be pre-show talks and discussions featuring leading scholars at 6pm every evening\, free to that evening’s ticket holders. \nPLEASE NOTE: School & further education groups wanting to book should email Sophie Norgate\, this year’s Business Manager\, directly at greekplay@kcl.ac.uk. Teachers accompanying their students go free – please contact Sophie to arrange.
