Classicist Dr Michael Scott journeys to Athens to explore how drama first began. He discovers that from the very start it was about more than just entertainment - it was a reaction to real events, ...it was a driving force in history and it was deeply connected to Athenian democracy. In fact, the story of theatre is the story of Athens. BBC 4 version
