Iphigenia Among the Taurians
Tuesday, January 28–Friday, January 31, 2025 • 7:30 PM | Saturday, February 1, 2025 • 2 PM and 7:30 PM
Euripides, translated by Anne Carson
Bradley Griffin, Director
N. Lincoln Hanks, Composer
One of the lesser-known Greek tragedies, Iphigenia Among the Taurians reveals an alternate
outcome for the title’s heroine. Rather than dying at Aulis as a sacrifice to the
gods, Iphigenia has been rescued by Artemis and brought to live among the Taurians,
where she serves as a priestess charged with the grisly duty to kill any Greek sailor
who lands on their shores. With the arrival of two unexpected Greek visitors, however,
Euripides contradicts our understanding of the tragic plot by introducing comedic
elements into a play with a bloody altar at its center.
No late seating allowed. Join a talk back with the actors and director after the Wednesday
performance.
