“Would you be wise, you Cities, fly from war”
Tight Fit Theatre turns to the Greeks once more. After the critical success of The Phoenician Women (“Brilliant”) and Oedipus Rex (“Inspired and moving”), both adapted and directed by Mark Oldknow, the Wycombe Swan's resident company awakens another Classical Tragedy. First performed in 415 BC from a story about the siege of Troy - even then ancient history - the play has as many resonances today as then. The terrors of war are unaltered in 3000 years. Euripides said of war what we say of it to-day, and learned what we now are learning: triumph brings as much wretchedness to the victors as to the vanquished.
Tight Fit Theatre has an envied reputation for its productions. Always challenging and ever accessible, their work underlines a commitment to style with content.
Renowned for its productions since 1996 and resident at the Wycombe Swan, Tight Fit Theatre is a professional theatre company who also provide training, project management, and technical expertise.
