By whatever alchemy, it serves the greatest collection of stories ever written - adds to them, modernizes them, makes them feel fresh, forces you to see them both strange and familiar...There has not been anything quite like this ever before. - THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE
A contemporary Festival of Dionysus! This brilliant work by playwright Sean Graney undertakes a day-long play retelling of the thirty-two surviving Greek tragedies. PART II: POLITICS includes:THE BACCHAE - ION - OEDIPUS REX - OEDIPUS AT COLONUS - SEVEN AGAINST THEBES - THE PHOENICIAN WOMEN - ANTIGONE
All Our Tragic is a sprawling, messy, at-times-brilliant show, much like the lives of those it portrays and would hope to honor. It is a singular achievement, one not likely to be repeated any time soon. - GAPERS BLOCK, CHICAGO
We see the full range of relationships between husbands and wives, parents and children, sisters and brothers, politicians and citizens, generals and soldiers. We see the horrors and insanity of war in all their extremity, the gruesome payback for sexual betrayals, the high price paid for loyalty, the futility of prophecy and the wages of guilt. We see people driven to acts of both devotion and madness. We feel the lust for power, the ache for home, and the inevitability of death. - CHICAGO SUN-TIMES An ambitious production that exceeds expectation (as if it's possible to even know what to expect of a 12-hour performance!), All Our Tragic is simply unforgettable, on so many levels. It's not really a show or even a play, but an experience, a total immersion into the imaginations of Sean Graney and the Greeks. The end result is that the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides really do become ours: they are all our tragic. - STAGE AND CINEMAAlso from
