Original Playwright - Euripides; comprises three plays

Synopsis:
A powerful indictment on the effects of war by one of the greatest of all Greek tragedians. Gods and humans worked together to build the great city of Troy, then wrought its destruction; Troy has falen, thousands are dead, every male trojan slaughtered but what of those left alive?

Notes:
Original Playwright - Euripides. Later, directed by Robert Salerno, at 6th @ Penn, (2004)

Synopsis:
A Walk on the Wild Side! Stroll into The Ally Way! Exuberant, over-the-top look at our present joys and fears! Should a wife sacrifice herself for her husband even if he is not worth it? Should a man serve a government whether it's just or not? Laugh your way to the answers. Robert Salerno's brilliant direction of Marianne McDonald's irreverent version of Euripides' Alcestis, The Ally Way, shows how men and women need each other in spite of (and sometimes because of) their differences.

Synopsis:
First performed in Athens in 405 BC this bloodthirsty story still has a timeless theatrical power. The half-god Dionysos returns to Thebes intent on punishing his family for rejecting him. Dionysos persuades his cousin Pentheus, King of Thebes, to disguise himself as a woman so he can witness the Theban women celebrating the wild Bacchanalian rites. Pentheus's mother mistakes Pentheus for a lion and tears him to pieces. But that only marks the beginning of Dionysos's revenge.

Synopsis:
Present day geopolitics clash with ancient, mystical tragedy in this transposition of Euripides' play to the present-day green zone in Baghdad. In the original, the Theban leader Pentheus and the vengeance-seeking half-god Dionysus are cousins who each have some rightful claim on the city. Makes Pentheus the swaggering, tyrannical leader of US forces in Iraq.The argument is skewed irrevocably in the favour of Dionysusplayed as a Middle East-accented, dreadlocked hottie whose powers manifest in his ability to make the Bacchants whirl like dervishes to a groovy world music beat as flames shoot out of the urn containing his mother's ashes.

Notes:
Original Playwright - Euripides. Part of "The Greeks"

Synopsis:
"As a dramatist, Tom McGrath's great strength is to pare things down to the fewest possible words, the sparsest settings, only the most elemental action. His extraordinary stroke with Electra is to seize on the brevities of Greek tragedy and whittle them down even further. The result: a lethal little piece, bristling with menacing meanings and consequences, representing a total minefield. We watch in horror as the characters blunder through it. His Electra is self-righteously correct, mad and disastrous. His Orestes, rather than god-enlightened, is a hesitant teenager blinded by a vision of new beginnings. All the characters have a dubious mixture of self-deluding, self-interested and high-minded motives. All are fatally credulous, believing messengers and messages even less reliably credentialed than CNN, Fox or the BBC. This piece zings with more compressed meaning than many ten times its length. It resonates powerfully for all of us watching similar stories unfolding in the Middle East, Congo, Rwanda, the USA and Northern Ireland."

Synopsis:
Directed by Esther Emery. The Great War is over. Troy has fallen and the victorious Greek coalition forces are on their way home. Hecuba, once queen of Troy, now a prisoner of war, is being transported back to Athens with other war booty, the women of Troy. Having lost her home, her husband and most of her children, what does this proud and brave woman do when she is asked by her captors to give up her daughter's life having discovered on the same day that her only surviving son has been murdered? One of the most powerful and intense dramas ever written, a play which celebrates the courage and bravery of Hecuba and the women of Troy as they struggle to survive, a play which asks important questions about how the victors of war deal with the vanquished, a play about what happens to human beings when they lose all hope?.
