University of London Festival of Greek Drama
Welcome to the 21st University of London Festival of Greek Drama!
This festival is a unique event which every year brings together students from all over London to contribute and take part in a variety of activities related to the performance and appreciation of ancient Greek Drama.
The 2008 festival is being organised by students from King's College London, University College London and Royal Holloway. And we are proud to present to you the programme for the festival which is taking place in February 2008.
