Barefaced Greek present a trio of short, contemporary films made from snatches of ancient Greek drama, using the original language. These three films are taken from Aeschylus' Agamemnon, Aristophanes' Lysistrata and Euripides' Trojan Women, and are shown with English subtitles. This is a rare opportunity to hear the power of the original language in which Western theatre was first created.
The films will play continuously on a loop, running time approx. 15 minutes
