‘The Golden Masque of Agamemnon’ by John Wiles
at Abergavenny Castle on July 22nd/23rd at 7.00pm, July 24th at 2.30pm
Next week the grounds of Abergavenny Castle will become the backdrop for mayhem and murder when Gwent Young People’s Theatre present one of the most exciting plays written for young actors ‘The Golden Masque of Agamemnon’ by John Wiles, a Masque with speech, songs and movement.
This production brings together all the Agamemnon stories in a way that makes them challenging, theatrical and evocative to young people who may never have heard of the Greek legends. A bloodthirsty tale of the king who sacrifices his own daughter so that he can lead his army to conquer Troy.
A cast of fifty young actors retell the story of the blood curse of the House of Atreus from its beginning to its end through the life of Agamemnon and the lives of his children.
Bring a picnic, something to sit on and enjoy a spectacular and exciting performance in the beautiful grounds of Abergavenny Castle.
Tickets: £8 / £6 concessions available from the Borough Theatre Box Office (01873 850805) or from the Castle at performances.
