Relative Theatrics Virtual Reading of HIPPOLYTUS by Euripides.
Thursday, August 27, 2020 at 7pm via Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/2579614701.

HIPPOLYTUS by Euripides; Directed by Noelia Berkes; Discussion led by Dr. Laura De Lozier; Featuring Peter Parolin, Landee Lockhart, Francesca Mintowt-Czyz, Karl O’Brien Williams, and Isa Jackowich.

Coming to our virtual stage, Relative Theatrics presents a thought provoking tragedy by Euripides. Furious that Hippolytus has chosen to worship Artemis, Aphrodite, the goddess of love, seeks revenge. Infecting Hippolytus’ stepmother, Phaedra, with an overpowering desire for him, Aphrodite’s retribution will sweep both prince and queen to a brutal end.
Presented in conjunction with Reading Greek Tragedy Online, a weekly series of scene readings and discussions presented by the Center for Hellenic Studies, the Kosmos Society, and Out of Chaos. https://chs.harvard.edu/CHS/article/display/7081

Relative Theatrics strives to present thought-provoking theatre that examines the joining qualities of the human race. We believe that theatre is a forum with the power to illuminate the binding qualities of humanity and reinforce the ideals that as a society we have values that pose as common ground and emotions that relate us to one another. Taking artistic risk, we provide a community gathering place where thoughts can be exchanged about society, culture, and the power of creativity.

The reading will take place at 7p on August 27th via Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/2579614701. Following the reading, we invite viewers to join us via video chat for a discussion led by Dr. Laura De Lozier. The discussion portion of the evening will not be livestreamed.

A video of the reading will be viewable on the Relative Theatrics YouTube Channel the following week.
