SUMMARY:Iphigenia at Aulis
DESCRIPTION:Iphigenia at Aulis\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Iphigenia at Aulis\n\n\n\nPresented by Oxford Classical Drama Society  \n\n\n\nBy Euripides  \n\n\n\nIn a new English translation by Alexander Lafferty\, Evelyn Watterson\, and Nathaniel Denton  \n\n\n\nDirected by Wally McCabe with Kelly Yu  \n\n\n\nTo spill blood for his nation\, a father is called to first sacrifice his own.  \n\n\n\nThe infamous “thousand ships” of the Greek armada muster in the port town of Aulis\, all set to reclaim Helen from the Trojans. Yet the winds refuse to blow.  \n\n\n\nAfter weeks of waiting\, their prophet divines the cause: for hunting her sacred deer\, the goddess Artemis has taken ire against Lord Agamemnon\, commander of the fleets. \n\n\n\nShould the Greeks wish to sail to Troy\, she demands the blood of a virgin at her altar. Agamemnon sends for his wife. And requests she brings their young\, unwed daughter.  \n\n\n\nTwo and a half thousand years on\, Iphigenia at Aulis presents one of the most psychologically wrought tales from ancient myth\, and asks: how can any of us – a father\, a citizen\, a nation – come to justify acts of violence – to others\, to ourselves? \n\n\n\nThis year’s production of the Oxford triennial Greek Play places Euripides’s final tragedy in a Celtic world.  \n\n\n\nExpect a tartan-clad Achilles\, Greek generals in Irish saffron\, and a chorus dancing to flutes and fiddles\, with live accompaniment from a traditional céilí band performing an original score by University of Oxford music student Peter Hardisty. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £5.00 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nWednesday 04 to Saturday 07 November 2026 \n\n\n\nWednesday and Friday at 7.30 pm \n\n\n\nThursday and Saturday  at 2.30 pm and 7.30 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Oxford Playhouse\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\nOxford Playhouse and its Burton Taylor Studio present and produce several live performances and feature a rich array of British and international dramas\, family entertainment\, contemporary dance and music\, student and amateur shows\, comedy\, lectures and poetry. \n\n\n\nThe Playhouse not only produces and tours its own theatrical productions\, but it also fosters creativity through its Artists in Residence program and the Playhouse Plays Out series\, which brings unique events to various locations across the county. \n\n\n\nThe theatre’s Participation Team engages over 15\,000 individuals annually\, offering an extensive range of activities\, including post-show discussions\, workshops\, work experience opportunities\, holiday programs\, a youth theatre\, and a company for young performers. \n\n\n\nOxford Playhouse stands dedicated to its mission of being a Playhouse for all\, striving to ignite inspiration and bring about transformative experiences through its commitment to creativity on its stages\, within its community and online. \n\n\n\nDiscover more about Oxford Playhouse\, including travel\, access and venue information.
