Available soon in paperback!

I will be giving a talk on Nods to the Old Gods on Saturday 12th May at the Scottish Pagan Federation Conference, The Pleasance, Edinburgh.  Please contact me for more details.

This play is a stage adaptation based on the translation by P G Walsh of The Satyricon, a Roman novel by Petronius. Although the subject of a film by Fellini, The Satyricon was staged for the first time in history in the Debating Chambers, Glasgow University Union on 30th January 2006. The play highlighted themes of male rape, mental illness and suicide, which were not necessarily evident in the original text.

This play is based on Euripides’ “Bacchae” and Robert Burns’ “Tam ‘O Shanter”.
The Bacchae was performed posthumously in 405 BCE. Tam O’ Shanter was first published in 1791. Self-educated in the classics, Burns’ poem bears a striking resemblance to the Euripidean tale.
“Bacchae: The Pie-Eyed Piper” was first performed at The Pleasance Theatre in Edinburgh for the Scottish Pagan Federation Conference on 9th June 2007.

Hi Readers!

Welcome to my new webpage.  I also have a Twitter page (alysondunlop), which I will link to this one in due course.

I’ll be keeping you all up-to-date about my latest writing.  No doubt wittering on at you until you buy my books!

At the moment, I am editing a book on poems, which should be of interest to anyone interested in myth, magic and ancient religions.

Thanks for stopping by & I’ll talk to you soon!
