THEATRE Greek. Starting tomorrow, 7.30pm, Fringe Club Studio Theatre, $160, members $130.
Michael Harley directs and co-stars in this production by Theatron of Steven Berkoff's play, derived from Sophocles but essentially about what an awful place Britain was in the 1980s.
Passionate, angry theatre, or a monomaniac's boring foul-mouthed rant? It is probably a little of each.
Harley has a good record as a director and has worked with Berkoff himself which should add some depth to his insights into the play which he calls 'a rare and magnificent piece of theatre'. Simon Broad, Wioletta Glazewska and Elizabeth Baldwin complete the cast.
The Magical Voyage Of Ulysses. From Wednesday, 7.30pm, Saturday matinee 2.30pm, Hong Kong Arts Centre Shouson Theatre, $140, $160, Urbtix.
Another rerun of a classic, John Wiles' retelling of the epic voyage as interpreted by the Hong Kong Players. Ulysses sails from the siege of Troy to his home on the island of Ithaca but thanks to one or two unforeseen difficulties on the way takes about 10 years to get there.
