Dr Rosie Wyles to speak on Euripides’s Medea

On Wednesday 5th March at 4.30 pm, Dr Rosie Wyles will be speaking on:

‘Dramatising Ordered Chaos in Euripides’s Medea’

Dr Wyles will explore how Euripides develops themes of both chaos and order in Medea through his use of staging in the play. Please note that pupils at St Paul’s Girls’ School will be performing an abridged version of Medea in Greek on Wednesday 2nd April at 6.00 pm. Dr Wyles’s talk is likely to be a valuable introduction to some of the play’s themes for anyone attending the performance.

Rosie Wyles is Lecturer in Greek Language and Literature at King’s College, London. She is a specialist in Greek tragedy, with a particular interest in theatrical performance, costume, and reception.

The talk is hosted by the St Paul’s Girls’ School Classics Society. Tea and cake will be served from 4.00 in the Dining Hall and the talk will be held in the Old Library. The event will finish between 5.30 and 6.00. There is no charge.
