After performing from Book V to the end of the poem, he will lead the audience in a question and answer discussion about "how to make the ancient contemporary while maintaining the rigor and beauty of the original". For further information on Sebastian Lockwood, and for his own versions of Odyssey V, VI and VII, please visit his website at Odysseylive.org. | |
