Stage Walkers


 Stage Walkers 







 
It is the end of the second century. 
The Roman Empire is crumbling: it is the end of an era.
Amidst the atmosphere of collapse and decline, three theatre companies arrive at an ancient theatre from three different parts of the Empire and set up their own improvised drama competition modelled on those of the glorious past









 In a thrilling work of theatre that delves back in time from the origins of ancient Greek writing to the Roman period, the history of the theater is brought to life on stage.



 



 
Extracts from tragedies and comedies by Greek and Roman poets, songs and speeches, mime, sport, fighting, acrobatics and dramatic displays with fire – elements of the Roman arena – make for a colorful and diverse spectacle.
