I am broadly interested in the reception of the Classical Greek world in modern media, with emphasis on performance mechanics and audience interaction in Aristophanes' Old Comedy and the reception of mythology’s enduring tropes in theatre and film. My dissertation research looks at the concept of nostos in the road movie, heimatfilm and The Odyssey. My primary aim is to increase the accessibility of the Classics through the more widely accessible mediums of theatre and film to bridge the gap between the creative world and the stories that continue to inspire them.
