---The theme is intended to bring together three related topics of current scholarly interest:
performance in the ancient world, translation, and performance for modern audiences. We
hope
to attract people from Theatre Studies as well as from Classics. The Otago Classics
Department
has a tradition of an annual production of a Greek or Roman play in our own translation, and
we
are negotiating with the local Fortune Theatre for a professional production of Oedipus
Coloneus to coincide with the conference.
---Accommodation will be available in the college and in nearby hotels and motels. Pre-
and
post- conference tours can be arranged.
---The conferences is under the auspices of the University's School of Liberal Arts, which
will look to publishing a selection of the papers.
---There will be a formal announcement with further details and a call for papers (and
possibly workshops) in September. Meanwhile expressions of interest are invited.
