News / Latest News / Telegraph: The Persians a top drama

Friday 17th December 2010

The Telegraph newspaper has selected the National Theatre of Wales production The Persians, with music by John Hardy, in its selection of 'Best British drama of 2010.'

Writing for the Telegraph, Charles Spencer comments 'The National Theatre of Wales turned Aeschylus’s anti-war tragedy into one of the most thrilling events of the year by staging it in an army village high in the Brecon Beacons where soldiers are trained to fight in built-up areas. The result was sinister, ghostly and dramatically stunning.'
