That was excellent thank you. I very much enjoy these plays and have just bought the Ted Hughes translation. I am going to start reading it today, after your warm recommendation. Looking forward to your Sophocles episode, Oedipus the king is my favourite Greek play.
If you haven’t already I would HIGHLY recommend This Restless House by Zinnie Harris as she retells the oresteia in a modern perspective but with all the drama!
We put on “The Libation Bearers” back in high-school (more than 15 years ago) and except for the role of Aegisthus (portrayed a bit like a nitwit), all the other characters were dead serious and the overall atmosphere was very grim and tragic. With that contrast in mind, I laughed so hard at your portrayals that I started coughing and am still trying to recover as I’m typing this. 🎭
I miss your videos!
I learned more about Greek plays, tragedies, Greek choruses here than I’ve ever known. I’m just loving these videos!😊😊😊
