This reinterpretation of Aristophanes’ The Clouds explores the dangers of idealism and intellectualism in their emptiest forms. In today’s political climate, rife with propaganda and violence, it feels more urgent than ever to reflect on the strategies we choose and the sacrifices we are willing to make in the pursuit of a better world. I am thrilled to be directing this year’s KCL Greek Play and eager to begin this journey."

Giulia Balsamo, Director

The production will feature two matinee performances and three evening soirées at the Greenwood Theatre (SE1 3RA) Guest speakers: Tuesday: Dr Naomi Scott (University of Bristol) Wednesday: Professor James Robson (The Open University) Thursday: Professor Peter Meineck (NYU/ICS)
