No registration is required.

On 1 November, Aristophanes' Peace will be performed at Chickenshed Theatre, marking the end of a week-long workshop, a collaboration between Chickenshed, UCL, Teatro delle Albe (Ravenna, Italy), and the Universities of Bristol and Parma.

Dave Carey has been working with Chickenshed, an inclusive theatre company, since 1987 and has written much of Chickenshed’s professional output including the critically acclaimed As the mother of a brown boy... and Crime of the Century.

Marco Martinelli is co-founder of Teatro delle Albe and has run community-theatre projects all over Europe, in the US, South America and Africa, involving amateur actors, school children, and young adults, using Aristophanes, Dante, and Cervantes.

Dave and Marco will be in conversation with Giovanna Di Martino, a specialist in Greek and Roman drama and its reception and Leventis Research Fellow in Ancient Greek Literature at University College London.
