The Iliad by Chris Hannan Directed by Mark Thomson, Artistic Director of the Lyceum 20 April – 14 May 2016 Press Release For Immediate Use: 1 April, 2016 The Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh presents the World Premiere of The Iliad By Chris Hannan Directed by Mark Thomson, Artistic Director of The Lyceum 20 April – 14 May 2016 • Full casting is announced for Chris Hannan’s version of The Iliad, including Oliver Award nominee, Melody Grove • This World Premiere will be the final production, directed by Mark Thomson, in his current role as Artistic Director of The Lyceum • Mark Thomson will step down in June after 13 years at the helm of one of Scotland’s key producing theatres • Press performance is Saturday 23 April, 7.30pm The Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh is delighted to announce full casting for its epic production of the classical Greek poem, The Iliad, directed by its Artistic Director, Mark Thomson. Olivier Award nominee Melody Grove, currently nominated for ‘Best Actress in a Supporting Role’ for her critically acclaimed performance alongside Mark Rylance in Farinelli and the King in London’s West End last winter, will perform in this lavish and visceral production that explores the basic human emotions of love, jealousy and revenge against the backdrop of the Trojan War. This will be Thomson’s final production, as Artistic Director, after 13 years at Scotland’s largest producing theatre. The Iliad will run from 20 April to 14 May. Melody will perform alongside a large, ensemble cast including Jennifer Black (who last worked with Thomson on Six Black Candles), Peter Bray (Twelfth Night, Shakespeare’s Globe), Emanuella Cole (who has featured on popular TV shows such as Eastenders, Doctors), Richard Conlon and Ron Donachie (both last seen at The Lyceum in The Crucible), Amiera Darwish (last seen at The Lyceum in Crime and Punishment), Ben Dilloway (Chicken, Paines Plough/ Hightide), Mark Holgate (who has featured on popular TV shows such as Coronation Street, Doctors), Reuben Johnson (who has featured on popular TV shows such as Doctor Who, Casualty), Daniel Poyser (who has featured on popular TV shows such as Waterloo Road, Coronation Street), and Ben Turner (who has featured in films such as 300: Rise of an Empire). The Gods of Olympus take their sides and the fates of all men hang in the balance. On the battlefield of Troy the scene is set for the final conflict to claim the beautiful Helen. Only the invincible Greek warrior Achilles can tip the scales of war to glory or defeat, but humiliated by his leader Agamemnon, he is stubbornly refusing to join the fray. The Iliad is a great tale about gods and heroes, love, jealousy and revenge and unveils the tragic and bloody climax to the 10 year siege of Troy; the darkest episode in the Trojan War. Homer's Iliad is often credited as being one of the first known pieces of literature in Europe (dating back to approx. the 8th century BC) and the oldest human narrative about war. The themes of battle, displacement and anger are as relevant now as they were when written in ancient times. This new version of The Iliad has been written by Scottish award-winning playwright and novelist Chris Hannan. Hannan’s previous work at The Lyceum includes Crime and Punishment (a co- production with the Citizens Theatre, Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse, 2013) and Elizabeth Gordon Quinn (National Theatre of Scotland, 2006). His work has also been produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company, Old Vic Theatre, Bush Theatre and Traverse Theatre. Award-winning director Mark Thomson joined The Lyceum in 2003 and during his tenure he has directed over 30 productions including, in recent years, Waiting for Godot, The Caucasian Chalk Circle, Union, Takin’ Over the Asylum. He won Best Director at the Critics’ Awards for Theatre in Scotland 2015 for The Caucasian Chalk Circle which also saw The Lyceum nominated for 17 awards, winning an unprecedented 6 awards for its 2014/2015 season. Mark was previously Artistic Director of the Brunton Theatre Company from 1997 until 2002 and prior to that Assistant Director at the Theatre Royal Stratford East and the Royal Shakespeare Company and an Associate Director at Nottingham Playhouse. He leads a stellar creative team that includes designer Karen Tennent (recent credits at The Lyceum include The Caucasian Chalk Circle); Lighting Designer, Simon Wilkinson (recent credits at The Lyceum include The Weir); Costume Designer, Megan Baker (recent credits at The Lyceum include Union) and Composer/Sound Designer, Claire McKenzie (recent credits at The Lyceum include The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe). Director Mark Thomson says: “Chris Hannan’s clever adaptation of Homer’s The Iliad is fresh and classical and conjures an ancient world to engage with timeless human quandaries. A big story of war, lust and anger. Of the humans and the gods.” Writer Chris Hannan says: “On the simplest level The Iliad is an action-packed love story set during the Trojan War, in a world crying out for forgiveness. I was attracted to it because it feels like a story from the time when the world was young. Things are being experienced for the very first time; the grief of Achilles for Patroclus overwhelms not only him but the gods – the entire universe is turned upside down by his sense of loss. Moral chaos in the universe.

Distance and Contact Zones in the St Kilda Movies Philippe Laplace The pampered native of St Kilda may with reason refuse to change his situation; finding his amusement where his chief occupation lies, in the pursuit of sea fowl, that constitute at the same time his game, his luxury, and a considerable part of his wealth. Free from the reputed evils of law, physic, politics, and taxes; living under a patriarchal government, among a social circle of his relations; in a mild climate, without knowledge of a higher state of things; if he thinks not his island an Utopia, the pursuit of happiness is indeed a dream. (MacCulloch, 1819, pp. 29–30) 1 What I want to consider in this article is the way the Hebridean archipelago of St Kilda and its inhabitants were described in the only two fictional films ever made about life in these islands, in spite of a large number of documentaries.

  • Elizabeth M. Collingham
    Program in Agrarian Studies 21 September 2012 The Taste of War: World War II and the Battle for Food Lizzie Collingham Food is rarely included in lists of the causes of the Second World War. The rise of fascism, German feelings of humiliation as a result of the Treaty of Versailles, and the economic and social instability which developed in the wake of the Great Depression, are all usually identified as important causal factors. However, food can be found at the heart of policies which set Germany and Japan on the path to war in the 1930s. My book, which this paper (partially) summarises, seeks to understand the role of food at the heart of the conflict, as a cause and an instrument of war, an important factor in strategy and logistics, and an all-consuming preoccupation for many soldiers and civilians. The focus on food is not intended to exclude other interpretations but rather to add an often overlooked dimension to our understanding of the Second World War. After all, starvation, malnutrition and its associated diseases killed at least 20 million people, a number to equal the 19.5 military deaths.1 The story of food’s role as one of the causes of international conflict in the twentieth century begins in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. From the 1870s the amount of meat in the European diet rose steadily from 16 kilograms per person per year to 50 kilograms by 1914.2 Ben Turner’s family of mill workers in Huddersfield were able to eat a bit of meat virtually every day, in contrast to Richard Walker, an eighteenth-century farm labourer who spent half the family’s annual income on bread.3 The bread was supplemented by a little bacon, the occasional potato and a small amount of cheese.

  • Science and Ideology Revisited: Necessity, Contingency and the Critique of Ideologies in Meillassoux and Malabou
    Science and Ideology Revisited: Necessity, Contingency and the Critique of Ideologies in Meillassoux and Malabou Ben Turner Theory & Event, Volume 21, Number 4, October 2018, pp. 865-890 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/707014 [ Access provided at 24 Sep 2021 15:16 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] Science and Ideology Revisited: Necessity, Contingency and the Critique of Ideologies in Meillassoux and Malabou Ben Turner Abstract Political thought influenced by post-structuralism rare- ly invokes ideology critique as a meaningful category of analysis, criticizing the structuralist attribution of contingency and neces- sity to, respectively, ideology and science. This article will chal- lenge this position utilising recent philosophical considerations of necessity and contingency that rehabilitate ideology critique. Drawing on scientific materials, both Quentin Meillassoux and Catherine Malabou develop a form of necessity inhabited by con- tingency. It will be argued that this work allows a reconsideration of the usefulness of science for ideology critique in a manner that doesn’t rely on an attribution of scientific necessity to the politics of the critic. In political thought influenced by post-structuralism it is rare to see the concept of ideology, or the practice of ideology critique, invoked as meaningful categories of analysis.1 This reticence towards the Marxist conception of ideology, understood as the deliberate mystification and obscuring of a set of necessary political conditions, revolved around a rejection of the scientific ambitions of structuralism and its attempt to distinguish between contingent surfaces and deep, a-historical struc- tures.2 Quintessential to this separation was the attribution of contin- gency and necessity to, respectively, ideology and science.
