The Song of Arms and a Man

This unique and powerful telling of the story of Aeneas presents readings in Latin from the whole poem linked with an English narrative. Pupils (many with no Latin at all) have been energised by previous performances of this ‘Aeneid-in two-hours’, and inspired to explore further.

“A brilliant dramatisation – warm, witty, bloody and cruel – and a sensational performance.” Professor Tim Whitmarsh (at Cambridge)

“Phenomenal. Lots of our students were in the audience – thank you for inspiring them. I was spellbound.” Guildford High School (at Charterhouse)

“The Song of Arms and a Man was an enthralling and unique dramatisation of Virgil's Aeneid ... very easy to follow regardless of how much or little Latin each person knew ... I cannot recommend this performance enough.” Safa Malik, The Virgil Society Newsletter, May 2023 (at King's College, London)
