Reviews

Author Information

David Bullen is Lecturer in Drama and Theatre at Royal Holloway, University of London, as well as a director, writer, and dramaturg. Both his research and practice explore politicised re-uses of traditional narratives and forms, especially feminist, queer, and ecocritical adaptations of Greek myth and tragedy. Christine Plastow is Lecturer in Classical Studies at the Open University. Her research has two strands: practice-as-research work with ancient myth exploring its value and potential for modern audiences, and social-historical, legal, and rhetorical investigations of Greek oratory, particularly forensic oratory from fourth-century Athens.
