AJAX,
a furious study on humanity
Thursday, February 1 @ 9:30pm & Friday, February 2
@11pm
AJAX, a furious study on humanity, is the third
in a series of workshops in which we have explored
the nature and effects of war among the individual
and social psyche as well as the non-visible
injuries caused by war. Taking Sophocles' text as
the guiding structure, this Lab is the summary of a
work centered on the presence of direct and mediated
violence in our culture. Directed by Gisela
Cardenas, lighting design by Lucas Krech,
dramaturgy by Kelina Gotman. With Jonathan
Green, Dustin Helmer, Heather
Hollingsworth.
This
project was generated as part of Classic Stage
Company Summer Lab and continued thanks to the
support of Pamela Frost.
TAKING ONE
FOR THE TEAM
Saturday, February 3 @ 9:30pm
As Hank Williams Jr. asks so eloquently every
Monday night: "Are you ready for some
Iphigenia?!?!?" Well, fasten your seatbelts,
Euripides fans, as we examine how this story of
ignoble and unwanted personal sacrifice keeps
popping up in all the unusual places, from the
National Football League to the 1980s sitcom to the
dentist's chair. Created by Michael Kraskin.
