On the Thursday before half term, some of the students who take various Classical subjects went to watch the Bacchae, which is an ancient Greek tragedy written by Euripides. This play is being studied by the students who take Classical Civilisations for A Level.

We took the train to UCL where the play was being produced, and listened to a short talk about the performance before watching the play. We even got an ice cream during the intermission!

We all really enjoyed the performance and thought it was a fantastic representation of the written play, and the crew and actors involved were very talented. It also enhanced my understanding of ancient Greek drama in performance, and I hope we can see more plays in the future.
