Reclaiming Greek Drama for Diverse Audiences features the work of
Native-American, African-American, Asian-American, Latinx, and
LGBTQ theatre artists who engage with social justice issues in
seven adaptations of Sophocles' Antigone, Euripides' Trojan Women,
Hippolytus, Bacchae, Alcestis, and Aristophanes' Frogs, as well as
a work inspired by the myth of the Fates. Performed between 1989
and 2017 in small theatres across the US, these contemporary works
raise awareness about the trafficking of Native-American women,
marriage equality, gender justice, women's empowerment, the social
stigma surrounding HIV, immigration policy, and the plight of
undocumented workers. The accompanying interviews provide a
fascinating insight into the plays, the artists' inspiration for
them, and the importance of studying classics in the college
classroom. Readers will benefit from an introduction that discusses
practical ways to teach the adaptations, ideas for assignments, and
the contextualization of the works within the history of classical
reception. Serving as a key resource on incorporating diversity
into the teaching of canonical texts for Classics, English, Drama
and Theatre Studies students, this anthology is the first to
present the work of a range of contemporary theatre artists who
utilize ancient Greek source material to explore social, political,
and economic issues affecting a variety of underrepresented
communities in the US.
