It's All Greek

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.

Directed by writer-translator David Stuttard, multi award winners Dame Siân Phillips and Alex Jennings give voice to stories, scenes, and poems from ancient Greece, which – profound or poignant, fast moving, funny, or at times downright preposterous – help make sense of our lives today.
