The Big Greekender
Over the last 8 years, David Greig, John Browne, Sasha Milavic Davies and Ramin Gray have been rebuilding Aeschylus’ lost four-play sequence DANAÏDS. Following the previous success of The Suppliant Women and The Sons of Aegyptos, all four parts of the tetralogy were strung together in a festival of Greek Theatre at the Gulbenkian Theatre, Canterbury on Saturday 21st June for the first time since 463BC.
Mixing community performers with professionals, using authentic musical instruments, foregrounding rhythm and movement DANAÏDS is a highly pertinent myth that highlights asylum, consent, and the limits of democracy.
Featuring a chorus of young women from Athens, theatre students from London South Bank University and the University of Oxford, and local citizens of Canterbury, the full tetralogy was showcased across the summer solstice as scratch-style performances, followed by an academic symposium analysing the works on the Sunday.
Suppliant Women: The first of the four plays, and the most developed of the productions, Suppliant Women follows the plight of 50 women as they seek asylum in Argos, their motherland, in the hopes to avoid being married off to their cousins, the Sons of Aegyptos. Featuring chorus of Greek women from the American College of Greece in Athens, and acting performances from Greg Hicks and Tom Chapman, this musical play confronts themes of asylum, duty, and consent.
Sons of Aegyptos: Swiftly on the heels of the Suppliant Women are their soon to be husbands, their cousins, the Sons of Aegyptos (performed by a chorus of actors from London South Bank University). Only one word survives the original text of the play, and for the Big Greekender, the creative team have re-workshopped their initial adaptation of the play, incorporating the Canterbury Citizens Chorus more, and focusing more on the downfall of Argos and debating how the God’s in Olympus are handling the conflict between the cousins.
Daughters of Danaos: Following their arranged marriages to their cousins, the Daughters of Danaos (performed by a chorus from LSBU) share a pact to murder their husbands on their wedding nights, thus keeping their virginity intact and being saved from enforced marriage. However, one sister, Hypermnestra (performed by Laura Rogers) cannot go through with the act, having fallen for her chosen husband, Lynceus. This complicates their pact, leaving the Daughters once again exiled, this time from Argos, as murderers. Their father Danaos (Greg Hicks) dies at the hands of Lynceus, and the Goddess Aphrodite (Derbhle Crotty) ends the final tragedy by encouraging the women to embrace desire and love.
Amymone: The final play, a comedic satyr, performed to restore good cheer after three tragedies. Amymone explores a group of satrys and followers of Dionysus as they encounter the Suppliant Women on their arrival to Argos. With a witty comedic script from David Greig, the LSBU Male Chorus brough a raucous cheer to the end of the day’s theatre.
