A wonderful production of Sophocles's Electra last night -- Huge thanks to the cast and crew, under the direction of tutor Polly Caffrey, with Tutor Alex Carroll; an original score was composed by tutor Clive Letchford, with one part by student Alex Winnifrith

[JACTGreekSummerSch @JACTGreek]

And in last night's lecture, Judith Mossman took us through the differing versions of Electra and Orestes's reunion, so we can get so much more out of the performance of Sophocles's Electra tonight! #TheOwlNeverSleeps
