Euripides' CYCLOPS and Aristophanes' CLOUDS
The Cockpit Theatre, NW8 8EH , [Venue Details]Thiasos returns to The Cockpit with a fabulous double bill of Euripides' CYCLOPS, the only surviving satyr play from Ancient Greece, and Aristophanes' CLOUDS--a satirical take on the uses and misuses of academia and argument.
Both shows have received rave reviews and feature the brilliant singing and dancing choruses that are the company's trademark, with new original music by Manuel Jimenez. Don't miss this opportunity to see these two rarely-performed masterpieces!
CYCLOPS tells the story of Odysseus and his battle with the monstrous Cyclops Polyphemus, helped by a chorus of wine-loving satyrs--half men, half goats.
Aristophanes' CLOUDS pits the philosopher Socrates against a wily farmer who is overburdened with debts and wants to learn to beat his creditors in court. They both learn from the changeable chorus of Clouds that making the Worse Argument can get you into a stack of trouble.
Renowned classics scholar and media star Professor Edith Hall will give a post-show talk with Q&A on Wednesday, 17 September.
On Friday 19 September, Dr. Fiona MacIntosh, of the Archives of Performance of Greek and Roman Drama, will discuss both plays between the shows at 7.30 pm.
