Tragedy!
• In teams, make a list - what do you need
in a drama to call it tragedy?
• What’s it for?
• How does Oedipus fit this?
Once upon a
long, long, time
ago…
…in a land
actually not that
far away…
…the birthplace
of democracy and
cheap holidays…
And theatre as
we know it…
Someone famous
was about to put
their foot in it…
Who, what, where, when, how, why?

Let’s Perform
So, to perform our tragic drama, we need:
• An audience
• A round stage with platform at the front
• Professional main character actors
• Large masks so we can tell which one they are
• A chorus of amateurs
• Chorus masks, so they don’t just look like mates
• Costumes for everyone
• Tissues, wine, comedy to pick us up afterwards..
