Save the date for this year’s Classics in the Quad!

A King’s tradition once again graces the stage (or the Quad) as King’s students produce and perform a piece of classic theatre.

This year, the King’s Theatrical Society presents The Ill-Tempered Man (Dyskolos) by Menander, circa 316 BCE. Directed by Chloe Van Kessel and Naza Amyoony.

The comedy was lost for centuries and re-discovered in the 1950s.

Bring your outdoor chair, a blanket, some hot chocolate and settle in for an evening of fun and entertainment.
