Can playwright, David Greig, recreate a lost Greek play? During his long and successful career, David has written countless original works for the theatre. But now he takes on a new challenge. We follow him over a year as he attempts to rewrite Egyptians by the ancient Greek tragedian, Aeschylus. Along with a team including director Ramin Gray, choreographer Sasha Milavic Davies and composer John Browne, David tries to get as close as possible to what could have been the original storyline, style and sound of the play. The journey starts in January 2022 and ends with the performance at the Gulbenkian Theatre in Canterbury in late February 2023.
