In this dynamic imagining of Euripides’ rarely-seen final play, playwright Anne Washburn renders an ancient story to return us to a world where a father is challenged to sacrifice his daughter to appease the gods. An angry nation seethes and a great army thirsts for blood, but their battle ships are stuck in Aulis. For General Agamemnon, there’s a way forward to glory: `kill your daughter, Iphigenia.` Only then will the gods be satisfied and ignite the winds. Iphigenia and her mother, Clytemnestra, arrive in Aulis to a plan in motion – sacrifice the child, win the war.
