Description

Reclaiming Greek Drama for Diverse Audiences brings together seven bold adaptations of classical Greek and Roman plays, reimagined by Native-American, African-American, Asian-American, Latinx, and LGBTQ theatre artists. This anthology features contemporary stagings of Sophocles' Antigone, Euripides' Trojan Women, Hippolytus, Bacchae, and Alcestis, Aristophanes' Frogs, and an original work inspired by the myth of the Fates. Performed across small theatres in the United States between 1989 and 2017, these productions engage directly with social justice themes including the trafficking of Native-American women, marriage equality, gender justice, and women's empowerment. The collection combines the full texts of these adaptations with in-depth interviews with the artists who created them, offering readers insight into how classical drama can be reclaimed and transformed to speak to contemporary audiences and urgent social issues. This Routledge publication serves as both a practical resource for theatre practitioners and a critical study of how ancient stories remain vital in modern activism.
