ONLY 4 MORE CHANCES TO SEE

RITES AND SACRIFICES:

March 20th - March 23rd

Rites and Sacrifices must close this week. Don't miss out on this exciting new work!

"Evocative re-imagining of Euripides' war play...This mixture of different time periods makes Rites and Sacrifices a more complex and timeless piece...A powerful insight into the aftermath of war...A powerfully emotional piece"

-Scotty Zacher, Chicago Theater Beat

"If you like the Greeks come see this play. If you like modern political dramas, come see this play. And if you wish to know, without experiencing, how tragedy national and personal can forge a soul to iron or overthrow a noble mind, please do come see this play, for its look at the price of war is accurate and wrenching in any time."

- Ben Kemper, Chicago Theatre Review

Give the Dead Their Due!

The war is over but the dead go unburied. Who's using who - and for what purpose - when the grieving wives and mothers of Argos petition Theseus, newly-crowned King of Athens, to intervene on their behalf? Chicago playwright Jennifer L. Mickelson explores the human cost associated with the rituals of war in a brand new adaptation inspired by the rebel Greek dramatist Euripides' original text, The Suppliant Women.

"They have a right to know that after all they've given, all their children have given, they can count on someone, somewhere to do right by them. Every soldier deserves that. Every family that sacrifices one of their own."
