Read Between The Lines: a festival of writing from hieroglyphics to emojis

Please come along to this festival celebrating emojis, scare quotes, highlight, cartouches and other ancient and modern inventions for helping us read “between the lines”. Colleagues and students in Classics will be running activities, along with colleagues in other Faculties and school pupils, and there will be a short sketch written by Philomen Probert and directed by Paul O’Mahony.
