Anne Washburn's dynamic rendering of Euripides' rarely-seen final play returns us to a world where a father is challenged to sacrifice his daughter to appease the gods. This intelligent transadaptation of Iphigenia in Aulis is largely faithful to its source material, with a fresh and irreverent edge. "The play may hinge on ancient concepts like gods and filicide, but at its core is the timeless anguish of making a decision when any outcome would be catastrophic. If the Greeks feel over-the-top to modern audiences, surely no one is more qualified than Washburn to find the incidental in the epic." - The New York Times "Iphigenia in Aulis is one of the most infamous stories, retold with supreme dramatic skill... it is received by its listeners not as reverent homage to any past, but as shocking news, only as old as the last hour." - New York Theatre Guide "Anne Washburn's transadaptation is a mesmerizing, groundbreaking update on Euripides' final tragedy... The brilliance of Washburn's universe is the subtlety of her historical and mythological revisionism." - StageBuddy
