Sophocles then and now
Originally performed over 2,500 years ago in an amphitheatre filled with Athenian citizens, the Theban plays of SOPHOCLES are to be presented later this week for the first time on television. Tonight some of the actors who appear in them take part in an unrehearsed discussion about acting Sophocles and his meaning to the modern world.
