The play will be produced by the Classics students at Warwick (translated into English by Clive Letchford\, Teaching Fellow in the department)\, and will be performed in the Main Theatre of Warwick University’s prestigious Arts Centre. \nSupporting the performance\, the Department is offering a series of lectures and seminars specifically for school students to link in with Latin\, Greek\, Classical Civilisation\, Ancient History\, Drama and English syllabuses at GCSE and AS/A2 (no previous knowledge of the subject area or play will be expected).
