  • GOOD WIFE? BAD WIFE?  EURIPIDES’ ALCESTIS AND MEDEA
    GEOFF HARGREAVES

    4 CLASSES:
    TUES MAR 5, THURS 7, TUES 12, THURS 14.

    CLASS 1:00 – 3:00, SOCIAL HOUR 3:00 – 4:00.

    625 PESOS (INCLUDING SOCIAL HOUR SNACKS).


    A look at two famous plays by Euripides: Alcestis and Medea.  The course will present a strong contrast between two wives: one who willingly sacrifices her own life in order to prolong her husband’s, and another who murders her own children to convert the rest of her faithless husband’s life into a pointless misery. But, Euripides being Euripides, the issues aren’t as clear-cut as they first seem.Geoff Hargreaves read Classics at Pembroke College, Oxford, before going on to earn a doctorate in English Literature. Since then he has translated Mexican novels and poetry into English for New York and London publishers.

    The Lifelong Learning Program at the Centro Cultural / Instituto Allende provides San Miguel de Allende residents and visitors with the opportunity of taking courses designed for self-enrichment, intellectual stimulation, and fun. Courses are designed for adult learners by skilled instructors. All program staff and instructors are volunteers in order to keep tuition as low as possible.

    We offer approximately two dozen courses from October through March. There are two to seven two-hour classes per course. For schedules and fees, which include social hour snacks after each class, or lunch in one-day courses, please see course descriptions below. The program is an excellent way to meet interesting new people and to indulge your intellectual curiosity.
