The Dinner
The Dinner was the 2021-22 MA Acting cohort's graduating production at RADA.
The show was an original piece of work, created through investigation of family relationships, inspired by Aeschylus' The Oresteia.
This new work weaves together the classic Greek revenge tragedy in which terrible secrets are passed down through generations in a bloody chain of murder and revenge, and a satire of the hypocrisy of a large and wealthy family unfolding through events at an anniversary party in their ancestral home.
The Dinner was devised by the students and performed at RADA Studios in February 2022.
