The Cambridge Greek Play is a play performed in Ancient Greek by students and alumni of the University of Cambridge, England. The event is held once every three years and is a tradition which started in 1882 with the ''Ajax'' of Sophocles. The history of the early years may be found in P. E. Easterling's ''The Early Years of the Cambridge Greek Play: 1883–1912''.〔P. E. Easterling, "The Early Years of the Cambridge Greek Play: 1883–1912".

Cambridge: Cambridge Philological Society, 1998.

More recently, actor Tom Hiddleston played Orestes in Sophocles' Electra in 2001.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cambridge Greek Play History )〕 The Cambridge Greek Play is now hosted in the historic Cambridge Arts Theatre. == Recent performance history == * ''Prometheus Bound'' attributed to Aeschylus and Frogs by Aristophanes, (2013)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cambridge Greek Play )〕 * ''Agamemnon'' by Aeschylus, (2010)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cambridge Greek Play )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Varsity Review: Agamemnon ) 〕 * ''Medea'' by Euripides, (2007) * ''Oedipus the King'' by Sophocles, (2004) * ''Electra'' by Sophocles, (2001) * ''The Trojan Women'' by Euripides, (1998) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cambridge Greek Play」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
