Description:

The Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama (the APGRD) is a research project based in the Classics Faculty at the University of Oxford. It investigates the performance of ancient texts from Greek tragedy to Roman epic, in any medium and any period, from stage to screen, from antiquity to the present day.A world-renowned international research centre, the APGRD has been at the forefront of classical reception studies for over fifteen years and is a pioneer in classical performance reception - see details of our publications here.For more information visit the About Us section; or to explore our archives and production databses go to Research Collections.

Whereas the first volume Epic Performances (2018) examines the vast panoply of epic-inspired material on stage, screen, in opera and dance from the middle ages onwards,  Performing Epic or Telling Tales (2020) focuses less on ‘what' the recent epic turn in the theatre consists of than ‘why’ it seems to be so prevalent. In chapters ranging from spoken word performances to dance, from the use of machines and technology to performances that make space for voices occluded by the ancient epics, Performing Epic or Telling Tales seeks to contextualize and explain the ‘narrative’/storytelling (re-)turn in recent live performances with reference not only to the translation and scholarly histories of the epics, but also to earlier performance traditions and, notably, to recent theoretical debates relating to text-based ‘drama’ and performance-based ‘theatre’.   Nov Classical Literature and the Mind of Europe - Hungarian translations of Latin prose, especially Tacitus Speaker: Péter Hajdu (Hungarian Academy of Sciences), Respondent: Stephen Harrison (Oxford) 11.30am
