See it if you want to see an eager mostly untried group of actors learning their craft
Don't see it if You want a polished production
See it if you wish more of the classics were performed. A mega-arc of humanity’s attempt to control fate reduced to illusion & misguided vanity.
Don't see it if you don’t like poetry as scripts, the extremity of Greek drama, or theater that happens in attics and lofts. Read more
See it if Good to see real classics again. Some terrific acting (some not so). But the staging was delightfully funky, in the loft of an old church.
Don't see it if Like theatre fast-paced, light and fluffy, then stay home and watch sitcoms. If the subjugation of women is not your theme ...ditto.
See it if you are interested in ancient Greek plays.
Don't see it if you're a purist about Euripides or the other Greek playwrights. Read more
See it if you have a full/complete knowledge of the history of the Trojan War and all the gods.

Don't see it if you don't like modern dress productions of classics
