IRIS Hackney Schools Project
Hackney schoolchildren took over the UCL Bloomsbury Theatre in July in a double bill of Greek tragedy and comedy organised by alumni and current students from UCL Greek & Latin.
The eleven and twelve-year-olds from Benthal Primary and the Bridge Academy performed Aristophanes’ ‘Peace’ and ‘The Frogs’ on 7 July to parents, friends, teachers and members of the UCL community.
Lorna Robinson and Graham Kirby, both UCL Greek & Latin graduates, directed the plays, using translations that Graham had written especially for the shows. Some of the highlights included the argument between Aeschylus and Euripides over who was the better poet, and a chorus of croaking frogs commenting on the action.
