Publius Ovidius Naso wrote a collection of 21 love letters in verse under the collective title Heroides or Epistulae Heroidum: famous heroines of Greek myths write to the men of their lives who abandoned, discarded or betrayed them in various ways.

The female writers of letters and their addressees are presented as real personalities from their own time.  
In the contemporary version created in 2020 by the artistic team of the Jermyn Street Theatre in London the women’s letters were written by fifteen leading British playwrights. Fifteen monologues, different in style and genre, form a new collection - a complex dramatic text that translates and adapts Ovid’s motif
for contemporary audience
 
For first Slovenian production, directed by Aleksandar Popovski, we chose nine stories, linked together by an additional character. The additional text was written especially for the Slovenian production by Nejc Gazvoda, playwright and director.

Running until 31 May 2022. See official website for exact dates.
