poster for the ill-tempered man, this year's classics in the quad playJoin us for this year’s Classics in the Quad!

A King’s tradition once again graces the stage (or the Quad) as King’s students produce and perform a piece of classic theatre outdoors.

This year, the King’s Theatrical Society presents The Ill-Tempered Man (Dyskolos) by Menander, circa 316 BCE. Directed by Chloe Van Kessel and Naza Amyoony.

The comedy was lost for centuries and re-discovered in the 1950s.

Starting at 4:30 p.m., show up with your own mug for hot chocolate while supplies last! Bring your outdoor chair and a blanket and experience an evening of fun and entertainment.
