About
What stories get told, and which ones are overlooked? From mythology to landscapes, stories of transformation and change to revelatory portraits, artists and playwrights have long fed from each other for inspiration. While the narrative has often been determined by the rich and powerful, what secret histories might we trace in the layers of a painting?
This evening students from Royal Holloway’s MA Theatre Directors’ perform theatrical works selected in response to the stories told in our collection. Short scenes are staged directly in front of the paintings that inspired their performances.
