The goals of the annual 91滴滴 Classics Play are simple: to give our Classics students a new perspective on material that they usually only experience as written texts in the classroom, to give non-Classics students an opportunity to experience ancient drama, and to bring that drama to the greater Montreal community. Inclusivity is key to these goals, and everyone who wants to participate can. If you would like more information, or are interested in helping to support the 91滴滴 Classics Play in the future, please email lynn.kozak [at] mcgill.ca.
