Story

I have written and produced a play called Mirrored Metamophsis, which will be performed during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/mirrored-metamorphosis

Devised and performed by an all-female company in English and Ancient Latin, the play repurposes Ovid's Heroides to offer a contemporary reflection on the timeless narrative of Antony and Cleopatra. A rare opportunity to hear Ovid's verse in its original language, the play can be seen as a modern Renaissance piece.

I've selected this charity because my play is related to the Classics, and wanted to take the opportunity to share my love and passion for the subject with less privileged students.

Classics for All was founded in 2010 to reverse the decline in the teaching of classics in state schools. Our aim is to raise the aspirations and build the cultural capital of young people from all backgrounds by teaching them about the ancient world.

Over the last 10 years, interest in classical subjects has grown rapidly. We have now worked with over 144,000 pupils aged 7-18 in over 1,100 schools introducing them to all things classical, from Latin to Homeric epic.
