SUMMARY:The Ophiolite
DESCRIPTION:Theatro Technis and London Play Productions\n\n \n\nRun ends 22nd February\n\n \nMore information\n \n\nA new play by Philip de Voni set in Cyprus and England.\nDirected by Kerry Kyriacos Michael MBE\n\n \n\nWhen her beloved father dies\, young Penelope clings to the past while his widow pushes to move on. Like the Greek heroines defending sacred traditions of old\, she must decide where the battle lines are drawn. As the bereaved gather\, grief ignites a territorial war over the deceased\, which then engulfs the soul of the family itself. Ancient grudges fume\, primal bonds are torched and\, like molten rock surging through fault lines in the Earth’s crust\, the deepest injuries are finally forced into the open. Will conflict separate the family from its history and alienate bloodlines forever? In a house divided\, will love survive — and will anyone survive love?\n\n \n\nThis is a new contemporary play by Philip de Voni set in Cyprus and England. Directed by Kerry Kyriacos Michael MBE\, the Creative Director of London’s Theatro Technis\, and Olivier and UK Theatre Award-winner.\n\n \n\nThere will be a post-show discussion with members of the cast and creative teams on February 12.

SUMMARY:Classics for All FREE Online CPD: Running Classics Trips for Primary and Secondary Schools
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, 9th March 2026\n4–5pm\, Online\n \n\nRunning school trips both abroad and in the UK is an exciting enrichment opportunity for students\, and there is nothing quite like seeing places and artwork “live” that they have learnt about in books. I still remember the gasps of my students when they saw two statues in a museum in Greece that they had only seen a small\, black and white picture of in their textbook!\n\n \n\nHowever\, running and organising trips can feel quite over-whelming\, so hopefully this session will give ideas for trips\, reassurance\, and somewhere to start.\n\n \n\nAll details for the CPD can be found here\, along with the online signup form: https://www.canva.com/design/DAG-S449oVk/SJcdffJOR_ynAtP0ITOqIA/view?utm_content=DAG-S449oVk&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h7f7c7089ff

SUMMARY:Latin Day School: Cleopatra – An Egyptian Queen with George Sharpley
DESCRIPTION:CLEOPATRA at Roman Bath\, with George Sharpley Saturday 25th April 2026\, 10am-4pm\n\n\n\nNews of Caesar’s murder in 44 BC must have come as a shock to Cleopatra. He was the father of her toddler son and their host in Rome where they had been staying for nearly two years. They left Rome for Alexandria almost immediately. With them went Cleopatra’s young brother Ptolemy XIV\, another guest in Rome\, and Cleopatra’s joint ruler. Soon after reaching Egypt\, she had him murdered. \n\n\n\nAs aristocratic families go\, the Ptolemies are in a class of their own. They clung on to power for centuries\, skilfully employing incestuous marriages\, divorces and close-family murders. \n\n\n\nThe last―and not least―of the Ptolemies was Cleopatra. We’ll examine her time as queen of Egypt\, her family background\, and look at the literary evidence\, sifting the evidence for bias\, political hostility and sensationalism. A dull story it is not! \n\n\n\nhttps://www.romanbaths.co.uk/event/ancient-world-cleopatra-george-sharpley

SUMMARY:Policing the politicians: political control in democratic Athens\, a lecture by Chris Carey
DESCRIPTION:Dr Chris Carey\, Professor Emeritus of Greek at UCL\, will be giving a lecture at the school entitled “Policing the politicians: political control in democratic Athens”. Here is a summary of the talk from Dr Carey:\n\n \n\n“In Athens the ultimate power rested with the people. But for the daily business of the city from waging war to cleaning the streets Athens like any modern democracy had to hand power over to active politicians and administrators. The lecture will explore the ways in which the sovereign people ceded power while exercising control over those it chose to serve it.”\n\n \n\nA very timely topic\, with democratic politicians around the world assiduously attempting to extend the limits of their power.

SUMMARY:UCL Summer School in Ancient Philosophy
DESCRIPTION:University College London\nMonday 06 July to Fri 10 July 2026\n \n\n \n\nWhat are the origins of the world? How can we achieve happiness? What is the best form of government? Is democracy good? These are only some of the questions which ancient philosophers tried to answer more than 2\,500 years ago. Their bold and unprecedented enterprise prompted an intellectual revolution\, the relevance of which has not since faded. The Summer School in Ancient Philosophy aims to follow the steps of the ancient philosophers in their enquiries on the world and human life\, and explore their continuing importance today.\n\n \nMore Information and To Book\n \n\nThe Summer School offers a five-day programme covering the major themes and thinkers of Ancient Philosophy. There will be four classes each day\, between 10:30am and 3.30pm. Courses will be held in person unless otherwise specified. For more details about the modules’ format\, please see below or get in touch with us. Students will have access to a variety of online material before and throughout the course. The fee is £180. The course is not residential. Bursaries may be available for certain categories of students and will be granted after the end of the Summer School.\n\n \n\nStudents will be assigned to teaching groups of normally not more than 15-20 people. Groups will comprise students with similar levels of knowledge of the subject. Classes will consist of lectures\, close reading of texts\, and debates and will touch on a variety of themes\, including ethics\, metaphysics\, and theories of knowledge. Texts will be studied in translation\, though some classes will be offered in the original language. The style of teaching is friendly\, but demanding. Students are expected to actively participate in classes\, and they will be invited to discuss and critically engage with texts along with other students and teachers. Our tutors include some of the most talented and passionate teachers of ancient philosophy in the London area and beyond.
