This production should be studied as a prime example of ‘glocal’ theatre! 2/2 @AbbeyTheatre @edithmayhall @APGRD

I was blown away by Conor Hanratty’s ‘Na Peirsigh’ in the Peacock last March, so it was a privilege to get an insight into the directorial decisions which led to him fusing the Irish-language tradition with the Ancient Greek so powerfully. 1/2 @AbbeyTheatre @edithmayhall

“Image-making has been radically democratised, but the effect is not good for democracy.” Brilliantly engaging (and painfully relevant) lecture last night by @fotoole for the @TLRHub 2024 Edmund Burke Lecture.

It was so lovely (and surreal) to present my research in a recent lecture with @irish_athens … flashback a couple of years to when I was on the IIHSA Study Tour of Greece, I don’t think Undergrad me would believe it! 🥹❤️😂

TCD Classics’ Christine Morris writes in ‘The Conversation’ on why the Parthenon marbles evoke particularly fierce repatriation debates. https://t.co/pblGM8r4YY @TLRHub @TCDHistHum @tcdalumni @irish_athens @GreeceIrel68790

The marbles are a physical manifestation of what it meant to be Athenian during the 5th century BC.
