The Children of Herakles

While we are talking about theatre, there's an interesting and important radio program on the Connection today. (1290 AM on your radio dial) Peter Sellars,amazing theatrical director, talks about his show currently playing at the American Repertory Theatre. He talks about war, and art, and the new and the old., and the power of theatre to change people's lives. It's great!

I listened to it this morning, and one of the best things on it is when Peter Sellars says "CNN will show a woman crying from the horrors of War in the background all the time, but what they won't do is give her a microphone. Euripides, in effect, gives the woman a microphone."

It will be on again at 10 pm or you can listen to it online.

Find out about the play (and see it, see it!) by visiting the A.R.T. website It plays January 4-24 and it's good stuff.
