The Oxford Greek Play, Euripides' Orestes, has just got mentioned on Newsnight Review. They did mention that it's being performed in the original Greek - but interestingly didn't put it in context that this is a long standing tradition (the first Greek play was done 125 years ago, though they don't put one on annually as King's College, London do). Also, it wasn't mentioned that this is a student production - perhaps the BBC haven't realized.
I'll let you know what I think of the production after I've seen it next Saturday.
