ClassicsFest presents Ovid's Heroides: Women and Love #2 at The Lit & Phil in Newcastle on March 8th, 2024. The event, part of an exciting pilot project, aims to explore the voices of the ancient Greeks and Romans through the lens of contemporary artists, thinkers, and academics. This year, the focus is on women and love in the ancient world, inspired by Ovid's Heroides, a collection of letters from female characters to mythical heroes. These lesser-known heroines take center stage in a series of dramatic monologues written by contemporary playwrights and performed by professional actors. The event kicks off with Medea: The Gift, a retelling of Medea by Juliet Gilkes Romero. The performance is followed by a panel discussion and an opportunity to ask questions to the guest speakers, including Juliet Gilkes Romero herself. The event is free, but booking is required. Donations to support the work of The Lit & Phil are welcome. Join ClassicsFest for an enriching and thought-provoking experience that bridges the gap between ancient stories and the present.
