Sian Phillips and Stephen Greif lead us on a journey through the looking glass of ancient Greece to reveal beguiling female sensitivity and tough hardened masculinity, a heady cocktail that often leads to lust. In an afternoon where laughter is underscored with searing pathos, Phillips and Greif interact brilliantly to weave moments of wit and humour with wisdom and high drama. So, whether your preference is for tears and treachery, sex and seduction, or whatever lies in-between, this is a must-see show. Director David Stuttard's translations of Greek poetry and drama are bang up-to-date - so fresh they might have been written yesterday. For fact is, the ancient Greeks may be long gone, but they saw it all (well, perhaps not lockdown). And human nature and emotions have changed not one jot.
