WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In 2003, Will Power wowed critics and NYTW audiences with Flow, his smart and dynamic one-man show. Power is broadening his creative horizons with The Seven, a full-scale, large cast, hip-hop musical adaptation of Aeschylus's Seven Against Thebes, the story of brotherly war between Oedipus's sons. Jo Bonney directs, with choreography by Bill T. Jones.
