Fischler Student Stages Modern Adaptation of Greek Play, Mar. 21-23
The Interdisciplinary Arts Program of NSU’s Abraham S. Fischler School of Education proudly presents, “The Trojan Women,” a modern adaptation of the classical Greek tragedy by Euripides. This Capstone presentation was conceived and directed by drama teacher and IAP graduate student, Elizabeth Garrard, under the mentorship of IAP professor, David Spangler, Ph.D. “The Trojan Women” will be performed Wednesday, Mar. 21 through Friday, Mar. 23 at 7:30 p.m. in NSU’s Rose and Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center.
The Sagemont School’s Award Winning Drama Club is proud to present a modern adaptation of “The Trojan Women,” by Euripides. Often called the greatest “anti-war” play ever written, this powerful tragedy explores a dark vision of what war does to victims and victors alike.
“The Trojan Women” was first performed in 415 B.C. The setting is the ruins of Troy. After nine years of fighting, the Greeks have defeated the Trojans. Eight battered women wait to confront their destiny while their city burns to the ground around them. Their stories are all but unbearable – but also timeless. The tales could be modern reports from Afghanistan or Kurdistan, El Salvador or Rwanda, Palestine or Cambodia. Through the universal power of music, theatre, dance, and film, this new adaptation explores the universal wrongs of war.
Tickets are available at www.miniacipac.org or by calling 954-462-0222. Tickets are $15. A reduced price preview will be held March 20 for $10.
