Episode 90 - Aeschylus (456 BC)

"Behold! Aeschylus! Father of Tragedy!" Arthur and Kozlowski find themselves in Athens, in the midst of the Dionysia, a great theatre competition. Socrates, Euripides and Aeschylus are all competing for the prestigious prize of... a goat! But The Brotherhood of the Phoenix have come to Athens for more than just watching plays. Why does Aeschylus, wildly successful author of The Oresteia, Prometheus Unbound and Agamemnon want to fake his death? The episode is written by Philip Thorne and Oystein Brager, with dialogue editing by Philip Thorne and sound design by Paul Kraner. It features Alan Burgon as the Interviewer, Dino Kelly as Aeschylus, Hemi Yeroham as Kozlowski, Tim Meredith, Rhys Lawton, Adam Courting and Nathan Peter Grassi as the chorus, and Felix Trench as the Chorus Leader. The chorus was recorded at Soho Sonic in London, with engineering by Beth Grainger.
