Plot Summary:
The play
is, in effect, the main character's
monologue, for material that might
otherwise be dramatized comes to us
through her narration as she tells
us of a party thrown by herself and her
husband, and events leading up
to it. Carrie and those with whom
she is closest are of a generation
unable to connect with one another with
any ease, and therein lies their
problem. Monologues are what they do
best.
THE
EURIPIDEADS is an evening
of theatre comprised of two works, Time Went By,
But Slowly, a sendup of "Alcestis"
by Euripides,and Wollicott's Traveling
Rabbit's Foot Minstrels, a sendup of his
"Iphigenia In Taurus". The plays
can be mounted individually, but they
benefit from a mounting in tandem.
They then provide an evening's
entertainment that means to put the most
central presuppositions about the world
held by the Ancients in the hands
of Generation Xers - among these
presuppositions, that order was
available
in the cosmos, that no matter how
capricious the gods might be there is
always reason to believe in justice in
the world,that salvation at the
hands of the gods was always a
possibility.
