Cassandra

Over this week I attended a mishmash of performances. They ranged from good to mixed to awful. Let's start with the good: a fun, entertaining performance of Le Corsaire from ABT.

Fighting demons + love potions + family’s betrayal + falling in love. I supposed, that’s a trademark Clare stamp, one that I didn’t…

The play’s setting unlike Sophocles’ does not take place entirely in their palace in Argos but on a farm.

Greek mythology has played an important and lasting role in Greek and later civilizations. Greek mythology deals with the stories of gods and heros. The Greeks used these stories to try to explain and justify why things were in the world that they lived in. These stories were involved and used in the everyday culture of the Greeks.
