We didn’t feel it was fair to ask contributors or attendees to either break the strike or cross the picket line. A separate ORLO showcase has now been scheduled for Trinity Term, 27 April, 11:00-12:00 at Weston Library Lecture Theatre. The booking URL remains unchanged and existing ticket holders have been advised about the alternative date and booking arrangements.

This iconic rock musical centres on the lives of a group of impoverished young artists, struggling to survive and get their voices heard in Manhattan's East Village in the shadow of the AIDS crisis at the end of the millennium. Amidst their struggles with addiction, loss, political unrest and poverty, the group find their strength in the community they’ve built. Taking you through a whirlwind of emotions, RENT will leave you wanting to seize no day but today. Inspired by Puccini's La Bohème, RENT features powerful and unforgettable songs including Seasons of Love, Take Me or Leave Me, and La Vie Bohème. This award-winning musical is guaranteed to sweep you off your feet! 4th - 7th March 7.30pm Show, 2.30pm Saturday Matinee Bernard Sunley Lecture Theatre, St Catherine’s College, Oxford www.ticketsource.co.uk/st-catz-drama-society * Please see item 1.4 attachment for further information: https://weblearn.ox.ac.uk/x/MO9wH3 1.5 OCCT Discussion Group Monday, February 24, 2020 - 12:45 to 14:00Seminar Room 10, St Anne's College Emily Di Dodo will be the convenor of a session on ‘A 15th-Century Castilian Translation of Boccaccio’s Decameron’ In 1496 the first “complete” translation of the Decameron was printed in Castilian. Far from being faithful to the original text, the anonymous translator made significant changes to the structure of the text and even the content of the individual novelle. This begs the following questions: how was the Decameron read in the 15th century? Which novelle were favoured, and why? How important is the original structure to the reader’s understanding of the text? Everyone is welcome, and sandwich lunch is provided! No need to prepare or to know Castilian. See http://www.occt.ox.ac.uk/discussion-group for more details. OCCT is a Divisional research programme supported by TORCH and St Anne's College. Our organising committee includes Prof Matthew Reynolds (Chair), Dr Eleni Philippou (Postdoctoral Researcher and Co- ordinator), Prof Mohamed-Salah Omri, Prof Ben Morgan, Prof Adriana X.
