Any Alexander fans living in London could do very much worse than a visit to the People Show Studios in Bethnal Green.
There is a weird and authentically unsettling play about the great man being staged there at the
moment – weird, because it is all done in verse, with a multitude of different accents and performance styles,
unsettling because it has the feel of something genuinely Euripidean about it.
The action revolves around Philip’s marriage to Cleopatra, and Alexander’s explosive
response to it. There are apparently two more of a trilogy to come!”
Tom Holland (author of “Persian Fire”) for The Hellenic World
“A small-scale show commendably large in ambition, Peter Sturm’s take on Alexander the Great,
written entirely in verse for a cast of 12. Can barely fail to better Oliver Stone’s film on the same subject.”
Evening Standard, Critics Choice
“Passionate verse drama”
Paroikiake (Cypriot weekly in London)
