Giovanna Di Martino (Leventis Research Fellow in Ancient Greek Literature UCL/APGRD) will be discussing inclusive theatre and community-building with Dave Carey (Creative Producer, Chickenshed), and Marco Martinelli (Theatre Director, Albe-Ravenna Teatro) . 

Dave Carey has been working with Chickenshed, an inclusive theatre company, since 1987 and has written much of Chickenshed’s professional output including the critically acclaimed As the mother of a brown boy... and Crime of the Century. 

Marco Martinelli is co-founder of Teatro delle Albe and has run community-theatre projects all over Europe, in the US, South America and Africa, involving amateur actors, school children, and young adults, using Aristophanes, Dante, and Cervantes.

On 1 November, Aristophanes' Peace will be performed at Chickenshed Theatre, marking the end of a week-long workshop, a collaboration between Chickenshed, UCL, Teatro delle Albe (Ravenna, Italy), and the Universities of Bristol and Parma. Visit Chickenshed's website to book to view the performance.

This event is free and open to all. No registration is required.
