May Day Greek Plays

The Bryn Mawr Greek Play is a May Day tradition that has faded and been revived a number of times in its long history. The recent incarnations have taken the form of a parody of a classic play, written by the students with music borrowed from modern pop or show tunes. Since the 2002 revival of The Antagony, a parody of Sophocles' Antigone originally written in 1974, the tradition seems once again to be alive and well.
