Professor Vicky Angelaki (Mid Sweden University) will deliver the guest lecture at this year's postgraduate symposium but all are welcome, attendance at the symposium is not required to join the guest lecture.

Focussing on productions of Martin Crimp's works, as directed by Luc Bondy (Cruel and Tender, 2004) and Katie Mitchell (The Rest Will Be Familiar to You from Cinema, 2013), as well as Elfriede Jelinek’s Die Schutzbefohlenen (2015), David Greig’s The Suppliant Women (2016), and Ella Hickson’s Oedipus (2025), Prof. Angelaki will probe key adaptations of the Greek classical canon for their environmentalist activism, investigating how they dynamically carry the potential, both in text and in production, of greening the theatre canon.
