Since we’re debuting a new translation of Hecuba, and since so many talented translators of ancient drama are attending the conference, we could not resist adding a Sunday morning session to have an informal discussion of issues of translation, especially in light of performance.
We’ll be chatting over bagels on Sunday, October 10, from 9 to 10 a.m. All conference attendees are welcome to join us.
We are pleased to announce that the VFH has awarded us a generous grant to support the conference. We are are combining serious work in the humanities with a public service aspect in a theatre that is a unique part of Virginia’s history.
Many thanks to the VFH for recognizing our efforts.
If you follow the “Registration” link on the left, you’ll find that registration is open.

Starkey, David Jacobson, and Laura Banducci.
We’re delighted to have such a variety of thinkers help us to inaugurate this conference.
