WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
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.

What passes for authenticity in many contemporary performances of Greek drama is often formulaic and clichéd: Give the actors their togas, have them speak in sufficiently lofty voices, ask the costumer to throw in a couple of masks and high boots, and nobody will be the wiser.
Target Margin Theater is not interested in the appearance of tradition. Instead, in its 2007 season, the company aims to continue Greek drama's tradition of civic dialogue. As Yet Thou Art Young and Rash, directed by David Herskovits, adapts Euripides' The Suppliants into a beautiful and moving elegy for soldiers killed in the Iraq War.
