During the past century, the interpretation given by the various
directors staging Greek drama has varied, and the critical
reception accorded the productions has also altered. While the
texts of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides remain constant, the
meanings drawn from their plays do not. The director who decides to
offer a Greek tragedy in the modern American commercial theater
believes in the ability of the text to reach the contemporary
audience, and the reviewers assess the success of the venture:
their words become a record of both a particular performance and
the time in which it played. Hartigan explores how drama and
society interact and witnesses the continued vitality of the Greek
tragedy.
