Myths Retold

For fans of Madeline Miller comes a new generation of mythic retellings that put marginalised characters centre stage.

Irish poet and playwright Nikita Gill reweaves the tale of Hekate, goddess of witchcraft and necromancy, to illuminate her ascent to power in the Underworld on the brink of war. Actor and writer Zoe Terakes, inspired by their Cretan heritage, infuses queer interpretations of the myths of Zeus, Eurydice, Hermaphroditus and others with alluring sexuality in Eros.

Breathe new life into ancient stories with Nikita and Zoe as they reveal how they blend myth and modern sensibilities in this panel discussion with host Amy Sambrooke.
