SUMMARY:Homer's 'The Odyssey'\, from the Factory
DESCRIPTION:This is recommended! Every performance different\, audience participation… \nTry this review\, for an idea. \nFrom The Factory‘s own site… \nThe Factory is an actor led collective who redefine live theatre. No sets\, no costumes\, no props. Just imagination\, passion and a whole lot of spontaneity. Each performance is different for the audience and the actors. Often informed by obstructions and instructions\, the Factory present unique re-imaginings of the stories we think we know. \nSince 2007\, over 17\,000 people have seen The Factory’s acclaimed\, one night-only version of Hamlet. The Factory have also produced acclaimed versions of The Seagull and The Odyssey as well as an original full length play\, Boiling Frogs\, and a specially commissioned piece\, Bugs\, for Wilderness Festival in 2011. Their new-writing show Round 1 was produced in collaboration with Hampstead Theatre. The follow up show\, Round 2\, played for three months in Hoxton\, London as well as at the Latitude and Secret Garden Party festivals. \nFor more information\, visit the website\, Facebook Page or Twitter Feed.

SUMMARY:'Aeneas the villain': A Talk at Bablake School by Stephen Heyworth\, 30th September
DESCRIPTION:I am writing on behalf of the Faculty of Classics at Oxford  University and Bablake School to invite your students to a talk on:  ‘Aeneas the Villain’ by Dr Stephen Heyworth. \nDr Stephen Heyworth is a Fellow and Tutor at Wadham College\, University of Oxford and has taught Classics at Wadham since 1988. Dr Heyworth will be talking about Aeneas the hero\, but will concentrate on the way in which Virgil has written his epic so that an attentive reader is enabled and at some points compelled to see the poem’s protagonist as socially inept\, emotionally stunted\, morally questionable\, deceitful\, conniving\, nasty; in short\, a villain. The talk will consider Aeneas the lover\, the family man\, the teller of tales\, the betrayer of Troy and the wager of war. \nDATE: Monday 30th of September 2013 \nTIME: 4.30pm – 5.30pm \nPLACE: Bablake Theatre\, Bablake School\, Coundon Road\, Coventry\, CV1 4AU \nTARGET AUDIENCE: Year 10 and above \nPlease RSVP to Dan Menashe\, Head of Classics at Bablake School: \nEmail: dcm@bablake.coventry.sch.uk \nTel:  02476 271223

SUMMARY:The LATIN QVARTER: Tacitus on Britain | How Gloomy Was Dis?
DESCRIPTION:Two-day course (You can enrol for one or both days) \n8th August 2013 \nTACITUS ON BRITAIN \nThis historian gave us the memorable line on the imperial achievements of his own people: “They make a desert and call it peace”. One wonders what he might say about the current EC (the European Community or the Economic Crisis or both!). In Britain\, Boudicca (Boadicea)\, Caratacus and Cassivellaunus were chieftains who held their own against the power of Rome\, for a while at least …    More details and download enrolment form \n9th August 2013 \nHOW GLOOMY WAS DIS? \nSelections of poetry illuminate the imagined underworld of the ancient world\, in particular Virgil’s Aeneid Book VI. The day will not be anything like as gloomy as it may seem! Some beautiful verse to enjoy. \nMore details and download enrolment form
