Ancient Greece and having been expelled from his homeland Diogenes ‘the Dog’ arrives in Athens to live out his old age as a homeless beggar and practice philosophy. Immediately he is cursing the immoral aristocracy, mocking the decadent rich and locking horns with Prince Alexander whose best friend likes to wear dresses, whose mother sleeps with snakes, whose lover has abandoned him and whose father, the King, is marrying every aristocratic woman he encounters. Diogenes rails against immorality and Alexander lusts after war and murder and in the end history will label one of them as a ‘cynic’ and one of them as ‘great’.
Relayed by way of bold, Renaissance style verse, this production imagines how the lives of some of histories famous names might have intertwined during the final years of Greece’s classical period when stories, poetry, philosophy and military campaigning jostled for prominence amongst men of new ideas and unswayable opinions.
