The ninth annual Classics and English lecture will be delivered by Dr Carla Suthren (St Catherine's College, Oxford).

This talk re-examines the performance history of Hecuba in sixteenth-century England, presenting new evidence for an early production by All Souls men, and exploring how contemporary modes of reading Euripides might translate onto the early modern stage.

In the Ioannou Centre lecture theatre (at 66 St Giles) and live-streamed via Panopto at 3pm on Monday 22 April 2024. Please check the APGRD website closer to the time for the link to the live-stream.
