This translation is the result of a close collaboration between theatre director and playwright, Andy Hinds (author of Acting Shakespeares Language), and Classics scholar, Dr. Martine Cuypers (Trinity College Dublin). Whilst preserving a scholarly fidelity to the original Greek, the translation is written in a clear and energetic verse, designed to be as 'performable' in the theatre, as it is readable in the home or study. It will be of equal interest and use, therefore, to teachers, students and academics, to actors and directors, and to the general reader. The Oresteia is released as a companion volume to Hinds translation of Iphigenia in Aulis. Iphigenia represents Euripides version of a key episode in the great saga, The Fall of the House of Atreus, while The Oresteia relates Aeschylus version of the continuation and conclusion of the saga.

In this inspirational new manual, Andy Hinds shares what he has learnt over thirty years of teaching the speaking and acting of Shakespeare’s texts. In simple steps he brings the reader to a full understanding of how Shakespeare’s language ‘works’, lucidly outlines a number of practical guidelines, and provides simple, test-proven exercises to put each guideline into practice. Key points include: Acting Solo Speeches | Pronunciation | Imagery and imagistic language | Acting Shakespeare’s Verse | Acting Shakespeare’s Prose | Breathing The essential guide for all actors, students, teachers or directors tackling Shakespeare’s plays or speeches and wishing to release the full dramatic power of his words.

In these recently acclaimed, subtly interlocking new plays, the lives of two very different men fatefully reconnect... The problematic birth of a child may create new possibilities for love, yet this fragile opportunity may just as easily slip through their hands. Visceral and touching, the plays explore the enduring bonds of childhood and glisten with moments of unexpected tenderness. Written and performed by veteran director Andy Hinds, Morning and Afternoon unveil intensely personal stories, underpinned by the social and political circumstances of Ireland's recent past.
