Synopsis

...rousing, crowd-pleasing...Dickens' classic becomes particularly spooky.

In addition to the ghoulish specter of Jacob Marley, and the spirits of Christmas past, present and future, this version introduces a half-dozen additional ghosts.

Press Reviews

"It is the cunningly agile pen of twenty-first-century playwright P. Seth Bauer that is responsible for the adapted production entitled IPHIGENIA…There is more that's divine about Bauer's triumphant adaptation; chiefly, that he not only preserves the Euripidean sense of timelessness within modernity but in some respects even amplifies it.“ —NY Theatre. ”This simple adaptation, highlighted with quiet flashes of humor, touches upon those deeper issues of war and faith, of patriotism and loyalty, managing to be both contemporary and authentically ancient at the same time. It is a masterful adaptation.“ —Off-Off-Broadway Review. ”Fine intellectual fodder for America…it becomes enjoyable, ultimately tragic theater. The ninety-minute production moves with clarity and great humor."
