I did this once in my history class years ago. (I don’t have time to squeeze it in anymore) The plot itself was enough to grab the kids’ attention. After I explained the whole killing father and marrying mother thing, they wanted to know how it went from there. (which is the whole point of Greek drama)
Most did well with it and enjoyed it. Pick good readers to the major parts.
BTW…Do I have the correct play? I do not recognize the “Tyrannous” part.
Good luck!
