Classic Stage Ireland

Presents

‘Iphigenia in Aulis’

Continuing their exploration of Ancient Greek drama started with ‘The Bacchae’ and ‘Oedipus the King’, Classic Stage Ireland return with another gripping Greek tragedy, Euripides’ Iphigenia in Aulis: a powerful tale of human sacrifice and the eternal conflict between personal loyalties and the greater good.

When Helen, Queen of Sparta, abandons her husband for the Prince of Troy a thousand ships are launched on a mission to reclaim her and to punish Troy.

The fleet is becalmed at Aulis and goddess Artemis decrees if the fleet’s commander Agamemnon will sacrifice his daughter to her she will send a wind to drive them on to war. His daughter, Iphigenia, is summoned but when her mother, Clytemnestra, uncovers the plan she resolves to halt the sacrifice at any cost.

Dear Members and Friends of the Hellenic Community,

We would like to inform you that the Hellenic Community of Ireland is interested in organising a trip to Belfast in order to join an exciting event of the local Hellenic Community to celebrate Carnival (please see the attached). The event takes place on Sunday 21st of February and all the proceeds will go for the support of the Greek School in N. Ireland. The departure time would be at 11:00am from the Greek Orthodox Church (46 Arbour Hill, Dublin) and the arrival back to Dublin will be around midnight, with a small minibus for driving people without a transportation back home. As the bus arrangements would have to be settled before and the seat availability is limited, we would like you to notify us of your will to join as soon as possible.
The cost of the bus fare is €20 per person and the fee should be paid before Sunday 14th of February. For payments please contact the Vice President of our Community Mr Michael Youlton at 086 815 9487 or vice-president@helleniccommunity.ie.
