About
Let the winds blow.
In this dynamic imagining of Euripides rarely-seen final play, playwright Anne Washburn renders an ancient story to return us to a world where a father is challenged to sacrifice his daughter to appease the gods. An angry nation seethes and a great army thirsts for blood, but their battle ships are stuck in Aulis. For General Agamemnon, theres a way forward to glory: `kill your daughter, Iphigenia.` Only then will the gods be satisfied and ignite the winds. Iphigenia and her mother, Clytemnestra, arrive in Aulis to a plan in motion sacrifice the child, win the war.
Running Time: 100 minutes, no intermission.
Recommended for ages 12+ (There is music, but it is a Greek tragedy...)
