DT2202: Greek Tragedy

"Classicist Edith Hall once said to the theatre director Peter Hall that “the moral of Greek tragedy is that unsupervised women invariably wreck things” (qtd. in Jonathan Croall Peter Hall’s Bacchai: The National Theatre at Work 20). Discuss the ways in which Greek tragedy in performance can support or subvert Hall’s assertion." This essay received a mark of 78 and discusses from a feminist perspective the plays 'Agamemnon' and 'Libation Bearers' from the Oresteia.
