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.
