- The Barnard/Columbia Ancient Drama Group Presents:
Euripides' Alcestis (2011)
Directed by Claire Catenaccio
Performed in Ancient Greek with English Subtitles
Glicker-Milstein Theatre, Barnard College
March 22-24, 2012
Alcestis is the earliest surviving play by the Ancient Greek writer Euripides. Originally produced in 438 B.C. in Athens, the play stands ambiguously between comedy and tragedy. It has a happy ending, as some ancient tragedies did. Certain elements, such as the drunkenness of Heracles and the wrestling-match with Thanatos, are clearly comic. Yet the speeches and emotions of the central characters are deeply serious, and the play takes as its central theme the tragic limitations of human life and love.

Came here because of the book "The Silent Patient"
I had a course in my University named '' Classics in translation '' where we read this masterpiece ' Alcestis'. In that time, I had watched this video numerous times, and managed to get a good mark in that course. Thanks for all the dramatis personas as well as the technicians for perfoming this play on stage.
A very beautiful and moving lecture of Euripides' Alcestis, a greek tragedy first played in 438 BC. Still relevant in modern times...
Phenomenal acting and dedication.
❤️🌸❤️🌸❤️🎁❤️🌸❤️🌸❤️🌸❤️Thank you for showing this play. All the actors are brilliant. I love Herakles, so tough and cute with his tricycle chariot with the plushie lion. ❤️🎭❤️✨🌟✨❤️🌸❤️🌸❤️🦁❤️
I have been looking for a complete performance of this play on UA-cam for a long time, and finally here it is. And not only that, but a fine version of it, too! Many thanks.
Outstanding - this is a hard play to imagine and stage. You have done such a great job - and in Greek, and set so nicely to music and with dancing - what a great resource!
Thank you for this! It's such a beautiful work and your intepretation is just great. Cheers from PL
thanx from Italy!!!
Thank you for this. I am trying to learn more about Greek drama, and this really helps.
Very well done and thank you for making this available. Ago volbus multas gratias.
This is really strong stuff
Are the actors also students in Ancient Greek? I don’t particularly care for the language but I think their skill is amazing.
I came here as part of making my way through the Great Books of the Western World. Why read a play, when you can watch the play?
Death takes the cake in this one. If he's a s charming and riveting as Death is in this play, maybe that will ease the way when he comes for me. I'll let you know.
Well, I've never seen Herakles interpreted quite like this. I kinda like it, though.
