Overview

The unexamined life is not worth living.

Emmy Award-winner Yannis Simonides takes audiences back to one of history's most famous trials, the day in ancient Athens when Greek philosopher Socrates went on trial for his life.

In a play packed with wit, logic and discussions of ethics and justice, the godfather of Western philosophy argues for the ideals upon which Western morality was subsequently built.

Socrates offers a profoundly social, political, but above all human work which captivates the audience with its immediacy and simplicity. It's a different kind of Saturday night than your usual, which is exactly why you should go.
