The second, shorter version offers a tried and tested, more performable 'stage' version of the play.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe translation is the result of a close collaboration between theatre director and playwright, Andy Hinds (author of Acting Shakespeare's 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCompanion Volume\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eIphigenia in Aulis\u003c\/i\u003e is released as a companion volume to Hinds' translation of \u003ci\u003eThe Oresteia.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eIphigenia \u003c\/i\u003erepresents Euripides' version of a key episode in the great saga, The Fall of the House of Atreus, while \u003ci\u003eThe Oresteia \u003c\/i\u003erelates Aeschylus' version of the continuation and conclusion of the saga.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This 'Iphigenia in Aulis' will be invaluable to students: the opportunity to view the full extant dramatic script in a close translation alongside a performance text, which makes judicious cuts, interesting and often powerful transpositions within the odes, as well as some very bold directorial decisions about the ending of the play, provides insights into the thorny questions relating to both textual transmission and translation for the stage.” —\u003ci\u003eFiona Macintosh, Director of The Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama (APGRD), Professor of Classical Reception, Fellow of St Hilda's College, University of Oxford\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Mr. Hinds riveting translations (with Ms. Cuypers) of these glorious Greek dramas leap off the page and demand to be on the stage.
