VATS (Victoria Ancient Theatre Society) presents Aeschylus’ tragedy Agamemnon
VATS (Victoria Ancient Theatre Society) recently presented a very successful short season of Aeschylus’ tragedy Agamemnon, about the Greek king who arrives home victorious from the ten-year-long Trojan War, only to be killed by his vengeful wife.
The Classics and Ancient Greek students who comprise VATS not only directed and acted in the play, but also translated Aeschylus’ vivid but difficult Greek into a new script for the performance. It ran for three nights, to good audiences. The full play can be found at https://youtu.be/JLDhsR0EhHE. Students who are interested in being a part of next year’s production are encouraged to look out for announcements in March next year, around the university and on the VATS facebook page: fb.com/VictoriaAncientTheatreSociety.
