Britain's What's On Event Guide
It’s All Greek
The Tabard is thrilled to welcome Alex Jennings and Dame Siân Phillips for a special, very first performance of It’s All Greek, a retelling of some of ancient Greece’s legendary tales.
Tears. Treachery. Murder. Add a dash of vengeance, lust and longing and you have a heady cocktail of emotions that fizz through this 60 minute plus performance of some of the jewels in the crown of Greek literature – works that feel so modern they might have been written yesterday. As these stories speak to us across the centuries, it seems almost nothing has changed in 2,000 years.
Dame Sian Phillips (I, Claudius; Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy) and Alex Jennings (The Crown; The Lady in the Van) give majestic voice to Zeus, Hera, Oedipus, Medea and a host of other famous characters in David Stuttard’s sparkling translations.
Dame Siân Phillips Siân has appeared in hundreds of plays, television programmes and films. Most notably for the National Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company, National Theatre of Wales and Frantic Assembly. Awards and nominations include BAFTA, Olivier, National Television Award, TONY and Drama Desk Awards, Lifetime Achievement awards for Radio Drama and is the only person to have a BAFTA Wales award in her name.
Alex Jennings is an acclaimed British actor, having won three Olivier Awards which he won for Too Clever by Half (1988), Peer Gynt (1996), and My Fair Lady (2003). He is the only performer to have won Olivier awards in the drama, musical and comedy categories. He played Prince Charles in the film The Queen. His other film appearances include The Wings of the Dove (1997), Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004), Babel (2006) and The Lady in the Van (2015).
Written and directed by David Stuttard, It’s All Greek plays for one performance only at the Tabard.
