Links galore!

I've been meaning to post a few things, and now that it's Friday finally, I figure I should post them!

Firstly, the Cambridge Greek Play this year is Medea. Obviously, I think this is one of the most exciting things ever.

Secondly, I finally got a listen of Loreena McKennitt's new CD, An Ancient Muse, and I think it is absolutely gorgeous. Not that any of you read this for music recs, but if you feel like listening to the music recs of a Classics grad student, there you go.



Lastly, I realized the other day (you may notice in the comments of the previous Rome post) that there is new actor information for HBO's Rome on IMDB. It is potentially spoiler-ish, so I won't say anything in particular here and shall leave it up to your discretion.

Wow - this *is* exciting. Please keep us up to date with developments!

The most thrilling performance of a classical Greek play I ever saw was done not in Greek, but in Romany. It was Oedipus Rex put on by the Romany Ensemble of the Skopje State Theatre in Macedonia, in one of the more dramatic corners of the old curtain-walled fortress of Dubrovnik. Queen Iokaste: was played by a Macedonian actress who was on loan to the ensemble. She didn't speak a work of Romany so had to learn her part completely by rote.

It was hair-raising. The sheer walls, the strobe lighting, the alienation effect of knowing the story but not understanding a word of the dialogue...

As for Medea, a read of Hercules, My Shipmate, by Robert Graves, might give you an extra angle or two on her story.

If I hear anything more, I'll let you know!

I'm sort of jealous. I haven't seen a lot of Greek plays in performance at all, actually.

And I'll keep that in mind! Thanks!
