It's All Greek

At New Wolsey Theatre, Ipswich · 1 performance from Thu 8 Oct to Thu 8 Oct.

Dame Siân Phillips and Robert Powell give voice to stories, scenes and poems from ancient Greece. When time’s ripe, let all the good things overflow. A woman longing for her lover; a wronged wife plotting her revenge; a squaddie traumatized by war. Love, laughter, tears, and treachery. And just a little murder, too. Whatever life brings us, the ancient Greeks have the right words for it. As they navigate through youthful high jinks, adult chaos, and the preoccupations of old age, their wit and wisdom are a road map for our modern age.
