Greek Tragedy in the Modern World
Thursday 27 April | 6:00 – 7:00pm | Livestreamed from Allen & Overy
Join us online or in person for a lively discussion on ancient Greek tragedy and its enduring influence in the modern age. What is it about Greek tragedy that fascinates us? Over 2,500 years since the birth of tragedy, the plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides continue to hold sway in our cultural imagination. Why are they still performed and what lessons do they have to teach us about life, loss, and the human condition?
Chaired by Sir Rabinder Singh (Chair of the Lawyers Group), this panel discussion with Professor Fiona Macintosh (St Hilda’s College, Oxford) and Paul O’Mahony (Artistic Director, Out of Chaos) will delve into the essence of tragedy, what it has to tell us about law and justice, and how its power lives on in modern productions.
Further details are available here.
