Synopsis

JoAnne Akalaitis returns to The Public Theater to present Greek tragedy as it was always meant to be seen � in the open air of the city. This visionary interpretation, featuring a lush choral score by Philip Glass, re-imagines the classic story about what happens when a government attempts to outlaw desire.
