Antigone at Bradfleld

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Bradfield College in Berkshire is probably the only place in the world where, every three years, lovers of drama can enjoy a Greek play in its original language in a small-scale replica of Epidaurus. The actors are students, the language unfamiliar, the weather unreliable, the stone seats arduous; yet the performances are sold out.
This documentary, recorded during rehearsals, looks at the century-old tradition and considers its chances of survival.
With the producer of Antigone,
Christopher Stace , the students, and members of staff. Reader Garard Green
Music composed by HENRY WARD Compiled and produced by JOHNTHEOCHARIS Stereo
