Description

Join us as we delve into one of Platos most engaging dialogues, where Apollodorus recounts a lively drinking party, or symposium, attended by the intellectual elite of late 5th century Athens. Set against the backdrop of a two-night celebration for Agathons triumph at the city Dionysia, the guests choose to honor love through eloquent speeches instead of indulging in more wine. Experience this dramatic interpretation, featuring a talented cast that brings these timeless ideas to life. - Summary by Libby Gohn
