Good luck to all of our students taking part in the outdoor performance of The Suppliants. First performed in 463BCE, this play is one of the most strangely beautiful of all Greek tragedies, rich and suggestive out of all proportion to its brevity. It is about helplessness, need and what it means to stand up for those who are defenceless. The first show is tomorrow evening at 7.30pm, with subsequent performances taking place at the same time on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. There will be both seating and standing opportunities for the audience. Tickets cost £16 & £14 (concessions) and the price includes hot food and beverage and a programme.
