Oliver Emanuel - Ancient Greek

BBC Radio 4 - Drama on 4, Oliver Emanuel - Ancient Greek

A sixth-former decides to take a stand against the current cuts in university funding.

Sixth-former Alex King decides to take a stand against injustice by graffitiing half the school in a strange language. Starring Alex Austin, Vincent Ebrahim, Sophie Stanton.

Sony nominated writer, Oliver Emanuel's sharp contemporary drama about a sixth-former who decides to take a stand. 

Since Christmas, strange words have been appearing all over the school - on the walls of the maths department, across the windows of the gym, scratched into the deputy head's Mondeo. A protest of sorts it would seem. Apparently written in Ancient Greek. 

On the last day of school, Alex King walks into Head's office and admits that the work is all his. He's one of the brightest students in the school. And now he wants his chance to speak. 

Directed by Lu Kemp.
