This year’s Classical play was not a conventional stage performance of a Greek play. We decided to do something special with the text we had chosen to work on for this year: Homer’s Odyssey.
Living Archive
In response to the government’s announcement of national lockdown on 4th January, we decided not to move the play into an online format, but to produce something equally exciting and original: we created a ‘living archive’ of the Odyssey, which you can explore by clicking on the second link below. We also invited the general public to take part in this ‘living archive’, whose contributions you can browse by clicking on the first link. The page contains the contributors’ personal views on and reactions to the Odyssey
