hippolytus 1999 adapted and directed by David Stuttard after Euripides.

Reviews summary:

Stunning..integrated visual design, lighting, words, non-verbal sound, silence and movement to build a bridge between ancient theatre and modern aesthetic experience…increasingly the company is developing its own voice and style. Classical Association

David Stuttard’s fluent, colloquial rendering of Hippolytus presents…a taut spare production…dramatice force is conveyed with all the modesty of true artistic integrity. St Andrews Citizen

Stuttard’s new translation is in danger of putting the hip into Hippolytus and making Greek drama seriously sexy…the writing is more thrusting, urgent and compact, without losing Stuttard’s poetic tongue. Yorkshire Evening Press

engrossing – this production captures the poetry of the language and the sense of oppressive doom and it longer in the mind long after the final tragic outcome. Halifax Evening Courier
