TROPICAL VACATION ON AN OPERATIC OASIS!
In the midst of Chicago's worst winter ever, treat yourself to an 80 minute exotic excursion featuring bathing beauties, philosophizing pirates, and grown men in remarkably short shorts!
Warning: If you want the winter doldrums, stay away; this experience will cause immense joy and the compulsion to spontaneously sing-a-long.
Did you miss this show last year? Do you want to see it again? It doesn't matter. Come ashore with the Very
Model of A Modern Major General, the Pirate King, and a banjo-picking Mabel. We will have fruity drinks, sunshine (the artificial kind), and tons of fun music.
Sophocles: Seven Sicknesses.jpg)
Based on Sophocles’ seven surviving texts:
Oedipus, In Trachis, In Colonus, Philoktetes, Ajax, Elektra & Antigone
Adapted & Directed by Sean Graney
WHEN: September 6-October 23, 2011
A FOUR HOUR EVENT!
SEVEN GREEK TRAGEDIES IN ONE NIGHT?
No, thank you, Greek plays are boring.
Why would any one want to watch some one screw his mother?
Or stab his mother to death in a bloody bathtub?
Or rip out his own eyes?
Or slaughter an entire herd of sheep, crazily thinking they are men?
Who wants to see a woman buried alive by her own uncle?
Or one the world’s greatest heroes, be eaten bloody-raw by poisonous Centaur semen?
And all in one night? No way, that sounds dull.
It's funny, it's sad, it's philosophic, it's epic & the seats are comfy. When else, in your life, would you be able to see the surviving life’s work of one of the greatest playwrights humanity has produced, in only four hours? And get fed?
YOU WANT TO COME. TRUST US.
