Classics Now

The Classics Now weekend will feature wide-ranging ‘in conversation’ events with some of the most exciting international writers who are using the ancient past as a way to reflect on our world today.

Featuring Antigone Now: Irish playwrights Conall Morrison and Colin Murphy have delved into the conflicts at the heart of Sophocles’ tragedy, Antigone, in their own adaptations. In conversation online with arts journalist, Paula Shields, they share insights into the play’s resonances today.

Award-winning memoirist and critic Daniel Mendelsohn, Editor-at-Large at the New York Review of Books, will be in conversation online with Sebastian Barry, Laureate for Irish Fiction.

Italian journalist and classicist Andrea Marcolongo will talk about her inspiring and best-selling book, The Ingenious Language: Nine Epic Reasons to Love Greek.
