Evidence: | 'The rest of the evening was devoted to a play-reading. Gilbert Murray's translation of The Agamemnon had been selected. The following took part.
Chorus & Elders H.M. Wallis
Watchman & Elder C.E. Stansfield
Herald R.H. Robson
Aigisthos H.R. Smith
Cassandra Mrs Unwin
Cytemnestra [sic] Eliot Wallis instead of Miss B.S.
Agamemnon E.E. Unwin
For the ordinary member some introduction & description of the Greek Drama would have added to the interest of the evening. Probably those who were reading enjoyed it more than those who had to listen.' |
