SIGHT AND SOUND'

CALL FOR PAPERS
We are happy to announce that the Fifth Annual Postgraduate Symposium is being organised by the Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama, University of Oxford, and the Department of Drama and Theatre, Royal Holloway, University of London. This two-day event will take place this year on Wednesday, 22 June at the Classics Centre, Oxford and on Thursday, 23 June at Royal Holloway, Egham. Please note that the Classics Centre in Oxford has moved to the Old Boys' High School at George Street.

ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
The Annual Postgraduate Symposium focuses on the reception of ancient Greek drama, emphasizing the vivid afterlife of the dramatic texts through the revisitings of ancient tragedy and comedy by academics, playwrights and practitioners. In previous years, speakers from a number of countries have given papers on miscellaneous aspects of the reception of ancient Greek drama. Abstracts of the papers given at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Postgraduate Symposia are accessible online at:

This year's Symposium will focus on visual and acoustic aspects of Greek tragedy and comedy in the performance history of the plays. Papers could be wide-ranging and focus on any aspect of sight or sound in performance of ancient drama.

It is hoped that Peter Brown, Edith Hall, Lorna Hardwick, Fiona Macintosh, Pantelis Michelakis, Oliver Taplin and David Wiles will be present.
