Euripides in live performance makes it difficult to bother with almost anything else for awhile. I saw June 26 RSC's production of 'Hecuba' with Redgrave which had also been in London and Washington. There were these five 'stories' of tents that were the sole set. Incredibly powerful, and I haven't been the same since, and don't plan to, either, most likely.
Pleasant wallpaper you've got here.

I'm sorry I missed their last year's performance - they did Aeschylus' Agamemnon, which must have been awesome.
I didn't say this, but the wallpaper is actually from a photograph of the formica pattern from DeMarco (qv.)

Please do come along if you have time. Yes Agamemnon was good but I think we've topped that this year!

Which character is played by Ursula Mohan, Amy?
Posted by: Sphaleotas at July 25, 2005 01:43 PM
I can answer that - she plays Alkmene. I keenly await the obscure biographical information that you obviously have to impart to us ;)

She played Iris in On The Buses. Or was it Edna?
K-punk's suspiciously knowledgeable about broad working-class comedy, I suggest we ask him.

'Iris', 'Joyce', 'Edna' *and* 'Liz'.
Can you think of any modern actress with that degree of versatility?

that's nothing, although amy is being modest, she's not only played the moon priestess in Euripides but also "Sun" in Casualty (beware typecasting!):
