Euripides

Euripides was born near Athens between 485 and 480 BC. His first play was presented in 455 BC and he wrote some 100 altogether of which nineteen survive – a greater number than those of Aeschylus and Sophocles combined – and which include Alkestis, Medea, Bacchae, Hippolytos, Ion and Iphigenia at Aulis. He died in 406 BC.

Will Shüler is Senior Lecturer in Drama and Theatre Studies at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK. His research and teaching focus on performance pedagogies, teaching and performance-making with new technologies, as well as Queer theatre and Greek tragedy.
