NEXT UP w/ HID!
Hamlet Isn’t Dead, Sanguine Theatre Company and What Will the Neighbors Say? are thrilled to partner with JACK (Amen Igbinosun, Executive Director) to present MOMENTS AFTER AIAS, adapted and directed by Andrew Watkins.
The piece, an adaptation of Sophocles’ tragedy combined with contemporary verbatim sources, will be presented at JACK (20 Putnam Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11238) from July 17th-26th.
As a decade of war draws to a close, Aias faces the devastating loss of his closest friend and the betrayal of his commanders. Consumed by rage and despair, he commits an act of unspeakable violence. Moments After Aias combines classical and contemporary voices to show how a community narrates and remembers tragedy in moments of ideological fracture.
The Artistic Directors of the producing companies, David Andrew Laws and Val Peter Chong (Hamlet Isn’t Dead), Sarah Boess and Michael Valladares (Sanguine Theatre Company), and Sam Hood Adrain and James Clements (What Will the Neighbors Say?), said of the play “Andrew is a brilliant artist we have admired and followed over the years. The chance to partner with Amen and the excellent team at JACK to bring this prescient and powerful adaptation to audiences is an exciting creative privilege.”
