Join us for an afternoon and evening dedicated to receptions of Aeschylus' Agamemnon, starting at 3pm with a talk by Professor Nancy Rabinowitz (Hamilton College) on: 'Reading Agamemnon in prisons'.
At 5.30pm we'll be showcasing our latest open-access multimedia ebook - Agamemnon: a performance history - and give you the opportunity to play with this interactive resource on multiple devices. We would really appreciate your feedback at this final stage before we launch the book online! Ebook contributors and APGRD team members will be on hand.
Stay for drinks and, at 6pm, a 'live rehearsal' by Joan Iyiola (RSC Duchess of Malfi 2018, Globe Omeros 2017), who is the voice of Clytemnestra in the ebook, and Struan Leslie (Director, Movement Director, Dramaturg). Joan and Struan will take us through their rehearsal process, the conversations that arise between actor and director, and their use of the ebook's resources in developing three of Clytemnestra's speeches.
