As a philosopher figure within the play, he offers thought-provoking insights on society and human nature. Through his portrayal, Mr George Bennett brings out the complexities of this tragic character. The detailed engravings beautifully depict the theatrical atmosphere of 19th-century theater. The costumes are meticulously designed to transport viewers back to ancient Greece, adding authenticity to the performance.
