The Melians

OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

  • Notes

    Coralie Carmichael played the 'love interest', but her character name is unknown.

  • Synopsis

    The empire-building Athenians gave the Melians a choice - be absorbed as subjects or be slaughtered. The Melians chose the latter. A dialogue-driven drama that draws parallels between the Irish question and this historical conflict.
