About Us
The London Festival of Greek Drama was created in 1987. It proved to be an enormous success and led to a surge of interest in the already popular annual performances at University College and King's College London.
Now every year, students and lectures alike produce a season of live performances, lectures and workshops, commited at bringing the experience of Greek drama to the widest possible modern audience. They perform plays from Aeschylus to Aristophanes, in the original Greek or in translation, which allow the audience to immerse themselves in Greek dramatic tradition.
Last year, there were two performances of Greek drama. At King's College, there was the much acclaimed performance of Aristophanes' Lysistrata. While University College London, there was the excellent production Aristophanes' Frogs.
This year we also have a series of student-led plays from each of the universities.
