Upcoming: Athens vs. Sparta by Charlie Roadman featuring Ken Webster, Hyde Park Theatre, December 17 Print E-mail

Athens vs. Sparta, Charles Roadman, Hyde Park Theatre

UPDATE: Elizabeth Cobbe's comments, published at tripvine.com, December 21

The Hyde Park Theatre provides the venue on December 17 for a presentation of Charlie Roadman's Athens vs. Sparta. Ken Webster provides the narrative for the piece based on Thucydides' history of the Peloponnesian War, released on CD last January.

Chris Parker wrote last April in the San Antonio Current,

Ken Webster at San Antonio performance"A combination pop-opera, Greek drama, modern allegory, and historical CliffsNotes created by Trinity University history grad and musician Charlie Roadman, the album resonates on several levels and is likely unlike anything you’ve ever heard. It details how Athens’ cultural hubris, faltering democracy, self-serving oligarchs, indifference to its allies, and ill-considered military adventurism resulted in a war doomed by poor prosecution and overextended forces."
