THE FRAGMENTS
Distinguished playwrights Ellen McLaughlin, Charles L. Mee, and Mac Wellman each take a fragment from the lost corpus of classical Greek plays from Sophocles and Euripides and weave them into three full dramatic evenings.
Monday, August 10, 2015
PHAETON by MAC WELLMAN
Monday, August 17, 2015
REQUIEM FOR THE DEAD by CHARLES L. MEE
Monday, August 24, 2015
PROTESILAUS by ELLEN McLAUGHLIN
All readings @ 7pm
ORESTEIA
Inspired by AESCHYLUS
Conceived & Directed by JONATHAN VANDENBERG
In association with ASHES COMPANY
Aeschylus authored the oldest extant drama. The Oresteia, the only surviving trilogy of Ancient Greek tragedy, is an inexorable exploration of human nature. It exists at a threshold between old and new worlds. In this production of few words, Aeschylus' trilogy becomes the catalyst for a future tragic form. A distinctive theatrical language of gesture, image, and sound emerges.
