SPOTLIGHT TALKS: AN ILIAD

Join us for the first of Sydney Theatre Company's new Spotlight Talks Series as Sarah Macdonald (ABC Radio) leads a rich conversation delving into the big ideas behind An Iliad.

This talk will explore why classical mythology endures – how these ancient stories continue to evolve, shape-shift and resurface in contemporary culture, and why we return to them, sometimes reluctantly and sometimes with longing. Bringing together thinkers and creatives from across the creative industries, this intimate conversation will offer a deeper lens on the themes powering our 2026 Season and invite you to consider the power of mythmaking and the stories we inherit, reshape and pass on.
