As Yet Thou Art Young and Rash January 11, 2007

Can we really save this world as it slips into war and confusion? In 'Suppliants,' Euripides frames burning personal suffering in an urgent civic context: his supplicants struggle to respond to their deep loss as human beings and as citizens; his leaders cloak their plans in the loftiest political rhetoric; his patriotism is passionate and deeply skeptical. 'As Yet Thou Art Young and Rash' recasts Euripides' play in a vivid contemporary mold.
