The Apology of Socrates
Plato’s timeless classic comes to life through a fascinating one-man show.
A unique cultural experience and political challenge.
Includes post-performance discussion.
Some background
The play is a dramatic interpretation of the defence of Socrates; on trial for “corrupting the youth” with his pesky questioning; and not believing in the city’s gods. It is one of the first trials in recorded history.
Plato’s Apology is the classic record of the trial.
