In 2022/3 the Faculty of Classics, in partnership with the Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama (APGRD), invited young people aged 13 - 18 from across the UK to perform a piece of ancient drama or deliver a spoken word composition.
A judging panel of academics and performing arts professionals had great fun watching over 50 short films.
Being a judge was a real treat - it was a brilliant experience to watch so many inspiring pieces. The entertainment and drama that entrants were able to perform in just five minutes was consistently amazing. The different interpretations and creativity meant no two entries were the same.
We wish to extend congratulations to everyone who took part - it was with great difficulty that we whittled the entries down to our winners below.
