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.
