Iph… :A Modern Retelling of Euripedes’ Iphegenia in Aulis

By Colin Teevan, Directed by Tammy Ostrander. Teevan’s edgy interpretation of the Greek classic finds the Greek fleet amassed at Aulis, prepared to depart for Troy to retrieve Helen, but stalled by the lack of favorable winds. In order to placate the gods and end the doldrums, Agamemnon is pressured by his brother, Menaleus (Helen’s husband), to sacrifice his oldest daughter, Iphegenia. Vainglory, familial loyalty, patriotism and sacrifice collide at the brink of a conflict few of them fully understand. A chorus of vigorous and lusty young women lend commentary on the action and the characters. This event is open to the public. $10 adults, $8 seniors/non-CSS students, $5 CSS students.
