Rebecca miller kratzer, Stage Director
“In staging Euripides’ monumental tragedy in an imagined aftermath of the Capitol insurrection, one in which the forces of fascism and white supremacy have won, Kratzer and her team press the trauma of an ancient war against the most potent symbols of contemporary American democracy, allowing fundamental human experience to bleed through new fabric.”
