Original Playwright - Euripides; comprises three plays

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?

Original Playwright - Euripides

At once a vigorous translation of one of Euripides' most subtle and witty plays, and a wholly fresh interpretation, this version reveals for the first time the extraordinary formal beauty and thematic concentration of the Alcestis. William Arrowsmith, eminent classical scholar, translator, and General Editor of this highly praised series, rejects the standard view of the Alcestis as a psychological study of the egotist Admetos and his naive but devoted wife. His translation, instead, presents the play as a drama of human existence--in keeping with the tradition of Greek tragedy--with recognizably human characters who also represent masked embodiments of human conditions. The Alcestis thus becomes a metaphysical tragicomedy in which Admetos, who has heretofore led a life without limitations, learns to "think mortal thoughts." He acquires the knowledge of limits--the acceptance of death as well as the duty to live--which, according to Euripides, makes people meaningfully human and capable of both courage and compassion. This new interpretation compellingly argues that, for Euripides, suffering humanizes, that exemption makes a man selfish and childish, and that only the courage to accept both life and death leads to the realization of one's humanity, and, in the case of Alcestis, to heroism.

-

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

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.

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.

Original Playwright - Euripides

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.

Regarded by many as Euripides' masterpiece, Bakkhai is a powerful examination of religious ecstasy and the resistance to it. A call for moderation, it rejects the temptation of pure reason as well as pure sensuality, and is a staple of Greek tragedy, representing in structure and thematics an exemplary model of the classic tragic elements. Disguised as a young holy man, the god Bacchus arrives in Greece from Asia proclaiming his godhood and preaching his orgiastic religion. He expects to be embraced in Thebes, but the Theban king, Pentheus, forbids his people to worship him and tries to have him arrested. Enraged, Bacchus drives Pentheus mad and leads him to the mountains, where Pentheus' own mother, Agave, and the women of Thebes tear him to pieces in a Bacchic frenzy.

Brimming with lusty comedy and horror, this new version of Euripides' only extant satyr play has been refreshed with all the salty humor, vigorous music, and dramatic shapeliness available in modern American English. Driven by storms onto the shores of the Cyclops' island, Odysseus and his men find that the Cyclops has already enslaved a company of Greeks. When some of Odysseus' crew are seized and eaten by the Cyclops, Odysseus resorts to spectacular stratagems to free his crew and escape the island.

Original Playwright - Euripides. Janet Lembke (Translator), Kenneth J. Reckford (Translator)

This vital translation of Euripides' Electra recreates the prize-winning excitement of the original play. Electra, obsessed by dreams of avenging her father's murder, impatiently awaits the return of her exiled brother Orestes. When he arrives, the play mounts toward its first climax, a tender recognition scene. From that moment on, Electra uses Orestes as her instrument of vengeance. They kill their mother's husband, then their mother herself--and only afterward see the evil inherent in these seemingly just acts. But in his usual fashion, Euripides has imbued myth with the reality of human experience, counterposing suspense and horror with comic realism and down-to-earth comments on life.

Original Playwright - Euripides. Part of "The Greeks"

"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."

This tragedy is a portrait of the defeated Queen of Troy, who transforms from grieving mother to cruel avenger to monster in the course of the play. The press release says, "Her fortitude in defeat is contrasted with the machinations of the victorious Greeks, and it is the Eastern monarchy, not the Western democracy, that draws our admiration and pity."

Original Playwright - Euripides

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?.

Original Playwright - Euripides. Translated by Thomas Sleigh and Christian Wolff

n Herakles, Euripides reveals with great subtlety and complexity the often brutal underpinnings of our social arrangements. The play enacts a thoroughly contemporary dilemma about the relationship between personal and state violence to civic order . Of all of Euripides' plays, this is his most skeptically subversive examination of myth, morality, and power. The play depicts Herakles being driven mad by Hera, the wife of Zeus. Hera hates Herakles because he is one of Zeus' children born of adultery. In his madness, Herakles is driven to murder his own wife and children, and he eventually exiles himself to Athens. The volume includes a new translation, an introduction, notes on the text, and a glossary.

Original Playwright - Euripides. Translated by W.S. Merwin and George E. Dimock, Jr

a compelling look at the devastating consequence of `man's inhumanity to man'. A stern critique of Greek culture, Iphigeneia at Aulis condemns the Trojan War by depicting the power of political ambition and the ensuing repercussions of thoughtlessly falling to the will of constituency. The translation impressively re-creates the broad array of moral and emotional tones conveyed by Euripides, with a comprehensive introduction, notes on the text, and a glossary of mythical and geographical terms.
